The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, since the beginning of 2020, has had a strong effect on many industry sectors including maritime transport. In this context, the passenger transport industry was the most affected and it is still in a very critical situation. Starting from the "No Sail Order" issued in March 2020, cruise companies stopped their operations. Besides the international regulatory bodies issued several guidelines for the prevention and management of pandemics onboard in order to safely resume cruises. The present work addresses this topic, aiming to discuss procedures and best practices to reduce the risk of uncontrolled spreading of SARS-CoV-2 infection on large cruise vessels. Starting from the lessons learned from the representative case of Diamond Princess, here the tools developed in the framework of Industry 4.0 have been used to highlight and handle the criticalities risen on the internal layout of passenger vessels, opening new opportunities to operate existing vessels and improve the design new buildings for outbreaks prevention and control.
自2020年初以来，新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情对包括海上运输在内的许多行业产生了重大影响。在此背景下，客运行业受影响最大，目前仍处于非常危急的状况。从2020年3月发布的“禁航令”开始，邮轮公司停止了运营。此外，国际监管机构发布了多项关于船上疫情预防和管理的指南，以便安全恢复邮轮运营。本研究探讨了这一主题，旨在讨论降低新型冠状病毒在大型邮轮上不受控制传播风险的程序和最佳实践。从“钻石公主号”这一典型案例中吸取教训，本文运用工业4.0框架下开发的工具，突出并处理客船内部布局中出现的关键问题，为现有船舶的运营以及预防和控制疫情的新船设计带来新机遇。
