Medzinárodná asociácia výletných liniek (CLIA) čelí zvýšenej kontrole, keďže v odvetví výletných lodí naďalej narastajú prepuknutia gastrointestinálnych chorôb. Nedávno Svendsen, kľúčová postava divízie

Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) is facing heightened scrutiny as gastrointestinal illness outbreaks continue to rise within the cruise industry. Recently, Svendsen, a key figure in the division responsible for vessel safety, was placed on administrative leave as of April 1, with plans for his termination in early June. This decision follows a troubling increase in gastrointestinal illness cases aboard cruise ships, which has raised significant public health concerns.

Twelve outbreaks have met the threshold for public notification so far this year, with most being attributed to norovirus, a highly contagious pathogen that causes vomiting and diarrhea. These outbreaks have put a spotlight on the cruise industry’s health protocols, sparking concerns about the adequacy of current measures to safeguard both passengers and crew.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) oversees a vital program designed to help the cruise industry prevent and control public health risks. The program includes inspecting various ship facilities, such as dining rooms, galleys, potable water systems, swimming pools, and child activity centers. Additionally, it involves investigating outbreaks of gastrointestinal illnesses and reviewing ship designs to ensure compliance with health standards.

As the cruise industry grapples with this growing issue, CLIA and the CDC are under pressure to implement stricter measures and ensure passenger safety remains a top priority. The impact of these outbreaks on the industry could prompt significant changes to health and safety protocols moving forward.
