At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, thousands of mariners were stuck at sea aboard thousands of ships worldwide. Most of those ships continued to operate throughout the crisis and their crews were necessary for the safe operation of the ships but one segment of the industry was completely shut down… cruise lines.
Within weeks of the first major outbreaks, cruise lines realized they were facing one of the most difficult logistical challenges of all time: repatriating tens of thousands of seafarers. Wendover Productions tells us how they did it.
If you are interested in how the rest of the maritime industry managed crew changes during COVID-19 then we recommend reading gCaptiain’s Crew Change Crisis archives or Christopher Mims‘ new book: Arriving Today, From Factory to Front Door — Why Everything Has Changed About How and What We Buy
