The port of Seattle has delayed the development of the proposed Terminal 46 cruise terminal as it needs to investigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the market before proceeding. The decision to delay comes as global liners have predominantly had to postpone their sailings until June awaiting clearance from health and government authorities to continue cruising. The analysis will consider impacts of COVID-19 on the industry’s 2020 cruise season, health and safety regulatory requirements, industry and market forecasts, and economic benefit.
