"Transnet National Ports Authority confirmed that six South African crew members would disembark from the liner once final approval had been granted for the ship to dock in the port of Durban," the ports authority said on Tuesday."The vessel has been positioned outside the port since Friday, requesting clearance to berth to receive bunkers and stores.
The ship’s line, Cunard, announced this month that it had ended its three international voyages early in response to the coronavirus pandemic. There are 1,215 crew and 264 passengers on board. "The cruise liner was already on its way to South Africa when the South African government announced a ban on cruise ships from March 18, although she was not among the initial six cruise ships which authorities confirmed would be permitted to dock in the country as an interim measure, following new regulations promulgated by the minister of transport on March 18."
"The regulations prohibit any disembarkations apart from returning South African citizens or permanent residents, and prohibit embarkations unless they are departing foreign nationals," TNPA said.
Do you say it’s got it’s got 1215 crew members and 265 passengers 🤪🤪🤪
