Roatan1 Posted April 11, 2018 Author #15 Share Posted April 11, 2018 When is the damage to the dock to be repaired? Seriously? It just happened today, they will need to bring in Engineers, Environment people and more, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowmeboy Posted April 11, 2018 #16 Share Posted April 11, 2018 At first glance, It doesn’t look as bad as the Celebrity Infinity taking out Berth 3 in Ketchikan, Alaska in 2016. The had Berth 3 fixed in 2 months. Hopefully it can be repaired quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

actuarian Posted April 12, 2018 #18 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I wonder whether MSC will compensate the businesses at the Port of Roatan for the business that they will lose due to ships like the Liberty OTS skipping scheduled calls there. They really should because the the people who live near the port depend on the tourist trade from the ships to make their livings and most of them are poor people. This could really cause some of those people to suffer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe me, they are on it, An internet forum will not set precedent yet the Port of Roatan, Merchant Marine, MSC and their insurance company will all be following the guidelines set for by the Maritime industry, very unlikely MSC would try to shed any responsibility Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s see if they compensate me for denying me the access to one of my vacation destinations. I was on LOS and was to be docked on the pier they damaged the next day.

I was on LOS and was to be docked on the pier they damaged the next day. Both ships owned by same parent company, they certainly would not pay passengers for missing a port, read the fine print when you book the trip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBSteelerfan Posted May 4, 2018 #25 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Any updates of the the dock? Are ships tendering? Have ships been skipping Roatan? As far as I know, Liberty only missed going there the day after it happened. Liberty was there as scheduled the next cruise to Roatan. Not sure when Allure will be going back due to the size of the ship tying to the pier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
