Environmentalists are urging a moratorium on exhaust gas scrubbers after a report showed Carnival Corp had committed dozens of violations in using the IMO 2020 devices.

The June 2018 document cited many offences, from dumping plastic garbage into the ocean to running faulty scrubbers in environmentally sensitive areas.

A court-appointed monitor (CAM) team issued the report as part of a five-year probation against Carnival in December 2016 for illegally dumping oil into the ocean for eight years.
