Usually, there will be a biosecurity customs officer who will be in charge of that and he'll decide whether people get off or stay on board.
Yes, well, Cape Verde isn't a very advanced country and it wouldn't have a very advanced healthcare system.
it's only about, I think, about half a million people and about quarter million live around the city, the capital city, Priya, that it's anchored off.
So obviously that's a high risk for them that they don't want.
They feel they've no need to take on board.
But the problem you have with cruise ships is you have a high concentration of people
in a confined space and usually they're not the youngest of people, so they'll get sicker quicker.
So it's like a little hotbed.
As Graeme said, during COVID, the cruise ships were a big problem at the start.
Yeah, that's a big debate that we have.
When cruise ships like this go down to the Arctic or Antarctic, they tend to go by themselves.
And they've gone out of reach of medical cover or rescue.
And in the Coast Guard, we always say, no, you should travel in pairs.
So if you have one problem on one ship, the other ship can help you.
So this is an issue we always had with the cruise ships that go into the Arctic and Antarctic.
So in this scenario, you will always have a medical team on board, usually there'll be a doctor.
And the doctors, if you're a doctor on a cruise ship,
You mightn't be the highest quality doctor because you're not maybe earning the money you should be earning when you're sure.
So there's questions over qualifications.
But most cruise companies, and this is a Dutch flag, will have good quality.
