The Board of Port Administration and Economic Development of the Atlantic Coast (Japdeva) confirmed that the last cruise of the 2018-2019 season was served this Holy Thursday. It was the Zuiderdam vessel, owned by the American company American Holland Line.

Japdeva estimated that with the season that began on August 23rd some 224 thousand passengers would arrive in the country in a total of 110 vessels, all served at the specialized dock located in the terminal Hernán Garrón Salazar.
