The admission by Holland America Line President Orlando Ashford came after the mayor of Fort Lauderdale — the ship's intended destination — said the Florida city could not take the risk of accepting the passengers. Earlier, Fort Lauderdale mayor Dean Trantalis said allowing the Zaandam to dock was “completely unacceptable” as no special assurances had been given about the passengers onward travel arrangements.
“The important thing here is isolation. Whether you're isolated on the Zaandam or isolated on the Rotterdam, the way that we protect the health of those of you that are healthy is to make sure that you're isolated safely while we figure out where it is that we're going to take you and allow you to disembark and safely travel home.”The Zaandam left Buenos Aires on March 7 and was supposed to arrive two weeks later at San Antonio, near Santiago, Chile.
