Legionella Warning for River Tees Ship

Your common thought when thinking of Legionella being found in water systems, would that it would be found in a building on land. That wasn’t the case for a ship using the River Tees, as it was stopped and held by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency due to Legionella being found onboard.

Routine checks are performed to protect people from Legionella outbreaks, and the importance of professional testing and risk assessments is ever growing.

All relevant stakeholders were contacted and discussed the course of action with the Maritime and Coastguard agency, port medical officers, harbor master and the ships agent.
