The person in charge of the 'MV Hondius' has released a video through the social media channels of the Oceanwide shipping company, where he highlights the crew's efforts during an "especially challenging" period. This situation has been exacerbated by the hantavirus outbreak detected on the vessel, which has tragically claimed three lives.
“"In situations like this, every image can be taken out of context. It can be very painful for the people on board."
The captain also emphasized that his commitment to the safety and well-being of passengers and crew does not end with their arrival in the Canary Islands. He noted that there is still a considerable process ahead and that his responsibility as the ship's leader is ongoing.
“"As captain of the Hondius, my job is to lead the crew, take care of the passengers, and bring the ship safely to port. My responsibility does not end when we arrive in the Canary Islands."
The video was released after several days of intense media coverage of the cruise ship, whose journey has been closely monitored since the outbreak's detection. The captain also dedicated a few words of remembrance to the victims, assuring that they "will be in our hearts and thoughts every day."
