Cruise Ship Shore Operations Policy for Ships Requiring a Secure Facility
City of Rockland, Maine
(As Amended 09/11/2023)
The City of Rockland wishes to encourage the growth of Rockland as a port of call for cruise ships.
To that end:
1) The City will seek to maintain certification of the Rockland Public Landing as a secure facility,
and to meet the rules and regulations of the United States Coast Guard (“USCG”) set forth in 33
C.F. Part 105, for the purpose of handling passengers from cruise ships. For the purposes of this
policy, a cruise ship shall be defined as any passenger vessel requiring a 33 C.F.R. Part 105 facility
for the disembarkation of its passengers. This policy shall not apply to ships that do not require a
secure facility.
2) Harbor Park and Mildred Merrill Park are maintained for the good of all the people of Rockland,
residents and visitors. Disembarkation and related shore-side activities shall be organized so as to
ensure the least disruption to public access to the parks, the Public Landing and boardwalk.
3) Access to the parks as well as through the parks to the Public Landing is very important, so any

Absent: Nicole Kalloch, Molly Bennet
Guest: Toby Williamson
Public Comment
The Commission received email comments from Ms. Amy Files, Ms. Ann Morris, Mr. Lincon Spear, and Mr.
Henry Quinn.
Ms. Files expressed concern about the balance of increased cruise ship revenues, environmental
costs and impacts on the quality of life for residents.
Ms. Morris requested that the commission add consideration of a lodging tax on short-term
rentals and service fees on tax exempt properties. Her thinking is that tax-exempt properties
benefit from public services such as police, fire, and roads at no cost. Maine Public Law Sec. 1. 36
MRSA §652, sub-§1, ¶L provides for Service Charge fees at the discretion of the municipality.
Mr. Spear raised five points to clarify the scope of duties and responsibilities as defined in 2025’s
Order #93.
There was no discussion of Ms. File’s email. In response to Ms. Morris, the Commission has added a
discussion of a short-term rental tax and service fees to our working list.1 The commission discussed Mr.
Spear’s five points expeditiously. Mr. Luttrell agreed to provide a 5-year s

December meeting minutes approved.
Historical Walk for RHT: Ann created a historical walk with facts that currently goes from Snow
Marine Park to Archer’s Restaurant. The walk includes information from Peter Richardson and
photos from Brain (insert last name) a member of the historical society. Ann would like to see
the historical walk extended all the way to Tilson Ave. This walk will be produced by the
Rockland Historical Society in conjunction with the Rockland Harbor Trail. Copyright is going to
be important for future use.
ACTION: Denny will research and create a copyright proposal and present it to Ann. Lots of
ideas for future use of the historical walk such as a harbor trail app that would include the
historical walking tour.
ACTION: All harbor trail members will review Ann’s materials and provide feedback by the end

American Cruise Line: Committee concerned that the process to discuss the proposal bypassed
the Harbor Trail Committee, as the proposal impacts the Trail. ACTION: Write a letter to express
the impact on the harbor trail and the lack of process. Ask to give input because we’re
representing a part of the population. Annette will write the first draft.
