Starting September, all ships that exceed 1000 tones will be obliged to change their route, in order to prevail them from entering Venice’s lagoon. The Italian government took the decision after major protests due to many incidents, the latest being in June of 2019 where 5 people were injured from a collision between a cruise ship, the dock, and a small tourist boat.
