(Port Authority of Guam)–The Port Authority of Guam welcomed its third passenger vessel of the year with the arrival of the MS Artania this morning.
The MS Artania docked at the Port Authority of Guam at 7:30 a.m. with 1,031 passengers and 511 crew members. The cruise ship will depart the port this evening at 9:00 p.m., giving its passengers time to explore Guam’s beauty and hospitality for the day.
“The coordination to receive cruise vessels like the MS Artania at the Port Authority of Guam, which is primarily a container yard, requires extensive collaboration,” said Port General Manager Rory J. Respicio. “It is a testament to the effectiveness of teamwork between the Guam Visitors Bureau (GVB), Inchcape Shipping Services – the ship’s agent, the Customs and Quarantine Agency, Customs and Border Protection, and the Port Authority of Guam. Each entity plays a critical role, ensuring smooth operations to welcome tourists, thereby enhancing Guam’s tourism industry and local economy.”
