Nigerian merchant ship docks in Savannah, Coast Guard responds
Nigerian merchant ship docks in Savannah, Coast Guard responds

Lt. Cmdr. Gabe Somma, USCGSAVANNAH, Ga. (WJCL) — A boat arriving from Nigeria that docked in Savannah, Thursday morning, is now serving as a subtle reminder that the spread of Ebola isn’t isolated to air transportation.
But thanks to a pre-existing plan, the U.S. Coast Guard is already working to make sure that Savannah’s ports don’t become the next port of call for the deadly disease.
“The Coast Guard, working in close coordination with the Centers for Disease Control, is continuously reviewing appropriate measures to effectively mitigate any risk to public safety,” Coast Guard Lt. Cmdr. Gabe Somma said in a written statement.

Officials said that there were no indications of illness or health concerns on the boat despite its arrival from a country that only recently started to recover from an Ebola outbreak – this while other countries in west Africa continue to show case numbers skyrocket.
The screening is part of the overarching process implemented by the Coast Guard that has been actively monitoring the arrival of merchant vessels that have come from the Ebola-affected region of west Africa since August.
To date, there have been no reports of any commercial vessel crew members at any U.S. port being infected with the Ebola virus. By U.S. Federal Regulation, all vessels and stakeholders are required to report sick or deceased crew members prior to U.S. port entry.
