However, because most cruise lines are foreign registered and because APPS only applies to foreign ships within U.S. navigable waters, the APPS regulations have limited applicability to cruise ship operations. In addition, most cruise lines have adopted policies that restrict discharges of machinery space waste within three miles (5 km) from shore.
Cruise ships, large tankers, and bulk cargo carriers use a tremendous amount of ballast water, which is often taken on in the coastal waters in one region after ships discharge wastewater or unload cargo, and discharged at the next port of call, wherever more cargo is loaded.
The most commonly used fuel type for cruise ships is so-called heavy fuel oil (also called bunker oil or marine fuel), which is relatively cheap but highly pollutive. [7] [4] Although diesel fuel (also known as gas oil) can work as a low-sulfur alternative, this tends to be 33–35% more expensive on average.

Typically, a large fraction of the mass of a satellite is liquid propellant at/near Beginning of Life (BOL), and slosh ...
