Cruise ship barred by 4 governments set to dock in Cambodia

BY , Feb 12, 2020 4:36 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

The operators of a cruise ship that was barred from docking by four governments say it will finally land and disembark passengers in Cambodia.

Thailand had said it would not allow the MS Westerdam to dock at a Thai port after it had already been turned away by the Philippines, Taiwan and Japan.

The ship has been unwelcome because of fears that those aboard could spread COVID-19, the new viral disease that originated in China.

Holland America Line says no cases of the disease have been confirmed among the more than 2,200 passengers and crew on board.

The ship is due to arrive in Sihanoukville, Cambodia, on Thursday morning.
