A potential quarantine crisis is looming for Gladstone due to there being no facility for the crew of a ship, that must disembark, expected to arrive at the port in days.
The logging ship full of seafarers is due to dock mid-March to be loaded with timber and be fumigated, requiring the entire crew to come ashore.
Over several days the vessel will be pumped with chemicals to kill any vermin in the timber.
Until January, when the more infectious UK COVID strain outbreak occurred at Brisbane’s Hotel Grand Chancellor, Gladstone had a designated quarantine hotel for seafarers.
