On Saturday May 9th, in accordance with health safety measures, the MSC Giselle (on the FI018R voyage) had to suspend its operations at the Santos terminal BTP, as two cases of COVID-19 were detected amongst the on-board crew. By order of the relevant authorities, the vessel was immediately into quarantine at the designated area at the port, where it will wait until May 23 to resume its journey.
As the operation was interrupted when positive cases were identified, some containers were not shipped and others were removed from the deck due to operational planning, or placed in the terminal yard, without being able to be reloaded onto the vessel. MSC has stated that it will contact customers and partners individually to explain the status of all cargo and to minimize operational and commercial setbacks. The shipping line said it was cooperating with the authorities involved in this process, and taking all the necessary precautions.
