Luxury shipping liner MSC Cruises and the South African government will be holding discussions about the departure of cruise liner MSC Orchestra from the port of Durban this week.
The vessel arrived back in Durban port in the early hours of Friday morning, with all passengers having disembarked by lunchtime. After the vessel's departure on Monday, a row erupted on social media with users calling on MSC Cruises to adhere to the regulations. While there was a question mark hanging over whether the MSC Orchestra would be quarantined once it docked in Durban on Friday morning, Tilayi said the MSC Orchestra, along with five other vessels was already en route to, or berthed in, a South African port prior to the publication of these regulations.
