Cruise ship inspection delays MSC Poesia departure from Miami
The MSC Poesia cruise ship remains docked at the Port of Miami, with passengers still on board, as the U.S. Coast Guard conducts a thorough inspection. The ship’s scheduled itinerary is currently suspended.
Coast Guard officials informed CBS News that inspection teams are assessing the vessel’s adherence to both international protocols and U.S. regulations. The detention began Sunday as part of the Coast Guard’s responsibility to ensure maritime safety and security.
“It is the Captain of the Port’s priority to ensure the safety of passengers, crew, the vessel, and the environment,” the Coast Guard stated.
MSC Cruises confirmed the delay in a statement to CBS News, saying, “The departure of MSC Poesia has been delayed while the U.S. Coast Guard conducts an inspection aboard the ship while it is docked in port.” The company added that they are fully cooperating with the authorities and are unable to provide further details at this time.
MSC Cruises also noted that the MSC Poesia typically accommodates over 3,200 passengers and more than 1,000 crew members, though the exact number of people currently on board has not been released. The company is communicating updates to passengers and appreciates their understanding.
