Discussione:Canale Vittorio Emanuele III
An Update in the English language wikipedia, re Venice.
The Italian government announced on 7 August 2019 that it will begin rerouting cruise ships larger than 1000 tonnes away from the historic city's Giudecca Canal. For the last four months of 2019, all heavy vessels will dock at the Fusina and Lombardia terminals which are still on the lagoon but away from the central islands. By 2020, one-third of all cruise ships will be rerouted, according to Danilo Toninelli, the minister for Venice. Preparation work for the Vittoria Emanuele Canal need to begin soon for a long-term solution, according to the Cruise Lines International Association. [1][2] In the long-term, space for ships would be provided at new terminals, perhaps at Chioggia or Lido San Nicolo. That plan was not imminent however, since public consultations had not yet begun. Over 1.5 million people per year arrive in Venice on cruise ships.[3] Peter K Burian, 9 August 2019
