On 13 July, the company informed that one member of each vessel’s crew tested positive for COVID-19. The infected mariners were immediately put in quarantine.
All other crew members were tested as well.
“Each vessels’ crew has been tested negative and both our vessels are cleared for normal operation,” Hapag-Lloyd said in an update today.
After receiving all necessary approvals, the 3,237 TEU Philadelphia Express has departed Norfolk with a four-day delay on 18 July. The ship is expected to arrive in Antwerp on 27 July.
