Cozumel will get better cruise ship piers
Ian Campbell has posted some useful information on wilmacozumel.com about when the piers will fully re-open and a possible doubling of cruise ship capacity on the island.
Repair work to the three piers – a lifeline for Cozumel’s economy – began quickly, but Victor Vivas González, a representative from Cozumel’s Port Authority, has revealed ambitious and potentially controversial plans to increase the pre-Wilma docking capacity for cruise ships.
According to Vivas, the International Pier is expected to be the first to fully re-open, but not until September.
In the meantime, passengers are being shuttled ashore by large tender.
