Carnival sued over SC cruise operations

Residents and environmental groups sued Carnival Cruise Lines on Monday, alleging the company's vessels docking in Charleston, S.C. are a public nuisance, amount to illegal hotel operations and that their signature red, white and blue smokestacks violate city sign ordinances.

"We're here today because the cruise industry has set up shop in our neighborhood," said Carrie Agnew, who lives in the Ansonborough neighborhood five blocks from where the Carnival Fantasy will dock 70 times this year.

She said neighbors have been trying for 18 months to get some reasonable controls on the growing cruise industry but "in return, all we have gotten is more soot, more traffic jams, more closed streets and more industrial-sized cruise operations."

The suit was filed in state court by two local neighborhood associations, the Coastal Conservation League and the Preservation Society of Charleston.

It wants a judge to block cruise operations that "constitute a nuisance" and declare illegal the use of the Union Pier area for a terminal. That's where the South Carolina State Ports Authority is planning to build a new $25 million terminal to accommodate the city's growing cruise industry.
