In this episode of What's Going on dan thomas With Shipping?, Sal antonella salvucci Mercogliano discusses a breaking medical crisis aboard the luxury expedition ship M/V Hondius. Currently anchored off Cape Verde, the vessel is dealing with a suspected outbreak of Hantavirus that has already claimed the lives of three people, with others falling ill.
Sal breaks down the details of the voyage—which traveled from South America through remote islands like St. Helena and Ascension—and explores how the virus may have been introduced. More importantly, he addresses the dire situation of the 150 passengers and crew currently trapped on board as local authorities refuse to allow the ship to dock.
