Of the 35 cruise ships due to dock in Burnie this season, five have already been unable to make the stop, and it means local tourism operators and businesses are missing out.
abc.net.au/news/cruise-ship-burnie-tasmania-cancelled-visits-weather-abf/101871470Windy weather, scheduling changes and unavailable Australian Border Force services have been behind the cancellation of five cruise ship dockings in the north-west Tasmanian city of Burnie this season.Five scheduled visits have so far been cancelled
Between November and April, 35 cruise ships were due to dock in Burnie but five have already been unable to make the stop.One of the itinerary changes related to a cruise ship that was due to arrive from New Zealand this weekend, which cancelled its visit because Australian Border Force services in the city were not available.
"However in context these ships have had to cancel due to offshore weather events and itinerary changes that prevented them from coming into Burnie.The Coral Princess was one of the cruise ships to dock in Burnie in November."While unfortunate, these decisions are not taken lightly, and TasPorts' obligations will always be to marine safety, protection of infrastructure assets and the environment," the organisation said.
