Maritime safety expert Lloyd’s Register has awarded Saga its Shield+ accreditation for its efforts to evidence how it can operate in a Covid-secure manner; the stamp is the highest category of health assurance offered by Lloyd’s.
The accreditation covers six key areas where health risks are greater and safety must be of paramount importance; these extend to medical treatment, Covid policy, food, onboard ventilation, accommodation and water supply.
Achieving the Shield+ standard means Saga has exceeded necessary levels of compliance in every category of the UK Chamber of Shipping’s government-backed Covid-secure cruising guidance.
