Saint-Vincent - Volcano eruption and cruise ships
« on: April 11, 2021, 01:43:25 AM »
Hi,
The volcano 'La Soufriere' on Saint-Vincent island (Caribbean) erupted on April 9th 2021.
Around 16 000 persons have be forced to evacuate the volcano area.
Five cruise ships (Carnival and Royal Caribbean), which remained out of service since spring 2020 around Barbados, rushed to the area in order to embark evacuees towards the nearby islands (St-Lucia, Barbados, Grenada).
Of course, the Covid pandemic is complicating the evacuation.
Cruise ships are : CARNIVAL PARADISE, CARNIVAL LEGEND, SERENADE OF THE SEAS, CELEBRITY REFLECTION and CELEBRITY APEX.
Attached, a Marine Traffic view showing the situation of the involved cruise ships (10 Apr 2021 00h00UT).
Regards,
Yvon
