BY THE MARITIME EXECUTIVE 02-04-2021 03:34:52
The Government of Canada today announced that it is banning cruise ships for one year while also advising Canadian citizens and residents to avoid all cruise ship travel. The government said the surprising move was in response to the continued risk cruise vessels in Canadian waters pose to the health care system.
“As Canadians continue to do their part to reduce the spread of COVID-19, our government continues to work hard to ensure Canada’s transportation system remains safe. Temporary prohibitions to cruise vessels and pleasure craft are essential to continue to protect the most vulnerable among our communities and avoid overwhelming our health care systems. This is the right and responsible thing to do,” said Minister of Transport Omar Alghabra.
