UK Chamber of Shipping chief executive Bob Sanguinetti, following the launch of a new Covid-19 Framework for cruise operators launched in collaboration with CLIA

"A huge amount of time and effort has gone into this work and the new documents, which are fully supported by the sector, is a testament to the commitment of all concerned to protect the health and wellbeing of cruisers, seafarers and the public. We are not talking about restarting the sector tomorrow, but it is a vital first step in the process to get cruises sailing again when conditions allow and government guidance changes.”

Part of a joint statement from the secretary-generals of the World Tourism Organization and the International Maritime Organization released at the start of November in support of the “safe resumption” of cruise ship operations: 

"We encourage governments and relevant national and local authorities to designate all seafarers and marine personnel within their jurisdiction (not only nationals) as key workers providing an essential service and to remove any barriers to crew changes. We further encourage the cruise industry and Governments to continue their efforts to enable the safe resumption of cruise operations."
