COZUMEL, February 23rd.- In view of the alleged damage to the reef caused by the anchorage of a cruise the previous Friday, from the National Commission of Protected Natural Areas, they announced that the area is sandy and that everything was a normal anchorage without damage.
The morning of last Friday, providers of tourist services were speculating that the anchorage of the cruise MV Hamburg, presumably could have been carried out on a reef body and that to it obeyed the presence of two boats of Pilots of Port that were doing maneuvers near this ship anchored in the roadstead.
When consulting with Brenda Hernández, head of the National Commission of Natural Protected Areas, regarding whether this ship had actually anchored in a reef, she reported that she had actually received the report that a cruise ship was anchored in the harbor and that they asked her to I did the right thing to remove him from the area.
Although he informed them that he was at anchor, he had the authorization of the Harbor Master's Office, underlining that they did not inform him about any damage to the reef because the area where he was is a sandy area.
He then reported that it is not up to the National Commission of Protected Natural Areas to go to withdraw a cruise, because you have an authorization from the Harbor Master's Office and it is not your jurisdiction.
He recalled that for a cruise to arrive, the personnel of the Harbor Master's Office introduces him to the roadstead, and it is not that the captain of the so-called "floating hotels" arrives and for his pleasure choose a place to anchor them.
