USA tillader færgefart til Cuba

Flere amerikanske rederier har fået tilladelse af USA’s handelsministerium til at indsætte færger mellem USA og Cuba. Tilladelserne er givet til Havana Ferry Partners i Fort Lauderdale, United Caribbean Lines Florida i Orlando, Baja Ferries, United Americas Shipping Services og Airline Brokers alle fra Miami.

”Denne handling er et stort skridt fremad. Hvis alt går glat, vil vi kunne have tingene oppe at køre i september”, sagde Joseph Hinson, formand for United Americas Shipping Services.

Det er første gang siden USA indførte sanktioner mod Cuba i 1960,at man igen tillader færgefart mellem de to stater. Cuba skal dog skal godkende færgeruterne fra Florida. Der er begrænsninger på hvem, der får lov til at drive ruterne og hvornår de starter.

Bliver færgeruterne godkendt af Cuba, må de kun sejle med godkendte USA-rejsende i 12 kategorier, herunder familiebesøg samt religiøse og uddannelsessøgende. Amerikanske statsborgere må stadig ikke sejle til Cuba. Det skal først vedtages af USA's senat.

USA's præsident Obama tog i december 2014 initiativ til at genetablere diplomatiske forbindelser med Cuba og ophæve en række handels- og rejsesanktioner.
