Cruise Ship Man Overboard Triggers Multi-Country Search Operation
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
Doug Parker reports on several significant developments within the cruise industry for February 25. The first major story involves a man overboard incident involving a crew member from the MSC Poesia. A 32 year old Filipino national went overboard after the ship departed Montevideo, prompting a multi country search operation involving the Uruguayan Navy and Brazilian authorities. Surveillance footage reportedly shows the individual on deck seven before movement was detected in the water. In other news, Captain Kate McCue is departing Celebrity Cruises after a 22 year tenure. The first American woman to captain a large cruise ship announced her departure on Instagram, citing life changes while noting that her sailing days are not over. Additionally, cruise officials are responding to efforts in Barcelona to reduce the number of cruise terminals from seven to five. Port director Jose Alberto Carbonell argues that reducing terminals will not solve the city's overcrowding issues. This debate occurs as the city faces protests regarding tourist housing and rising costs. Finally, the report notes a positive trend in cruise stocks, with Carnival Corporation, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, and Viking all seeing increases on Monday.
