Read Authentic Ratings for the Arago

On November 18, 2020, the LPG tanker 'Arago' was denied entry to the port of Christchurch as a precautionary measure against COVID-19. The vessel, which had anchored off Camp Bay in Lyttelton at coordinates 43° 36.68' N and 172° 47.11' E, is on high alert due to its crew's recent travel history. Some crew members were on a flight earlier this month that included a passenger later confirmed to have tested positive for COVID-19. In response to this health concern, a medical professional was dispatched to the ship to conduct testing on the crew. The decision for the tanker to dock will be made once the test results are available. It is noteworthy that no crew members exhibited any symptoms at the time. The 'Arago' had previously set sail from Brisbane before arriving at Lyttelton.
