Page "Scotia Prince Cruises" Paragraph 9

In 2004, the company discovered dangerous levels of mold in the City of Portland's terminal.

The CDC's National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health evaluated the terminal in March 2005.

Based on toxicological and remediation reports and NIOSH's comments on the then current state of the IMT and the likelihood that the building could not be made safe, SPC cancelled its 2005 season.

NIOSH's final report reiterates their on-site evaluation stating " a health hazard did exist at the IMT building " and " Additional work has been done at the remaining north ( east ) building of the IMT since the NIOSH site visit.

However, the underlying structural defects of the building have not been addressed, resulting in a high likelihood of continued microbial growth ".

Within hours of SPC notifying the City that it was cancelling the 2005 season for safety reasons, the City of Portland held a press conference announcing they had terminated SPC's lease.

The City immediately evicted Scotia Prince Cruises.
