The Galleons Pas­sage was ex­pect­ed to ar­rive in Cu­ba yes­ter­day. Ac­cord­ing to the Na­tion­al In­fra­struc­ture De­vel­op­ment Com­pa­ny Ltd (Nid­co), the ves­sel has com­plet­ed ap­prox­i­mate­ly 500 nau­ti­cal miles since de­part­ing Pana­ma on May 23, en route to Cu­ba.

Of­fi­cials said the ves­sel made its way through the last locks of the Canal at ap­prox­i­mate­ly 5 am on Wednes­day, bring­ing to an end the sev­en-day tran­sit through Pana­ma.

Mod­i­fi­ca­tions were made to the pi­lot board­ing sta­tion on board as re­quest­ed by the Pana­ma Canal Au­thor­i­ty.

While in Cu­ba, the ves­sel will un­der­go retro­fitting works to en­hance util­i­ty, pas­sen­ger com­fort, and safe­ty on board.

The du­ra­tion of these works is to be con­firmed by Nid­co.
