Iceland, Norway & Faroes Port Handbook Chapter A - The Baltic Chapter B - United Kingdom & Ireland Chapter C - Atlantic Europe Chapter D - Iceland, Norway & Faroes Chapter E - Associated Members Copyright 2021 Cruise Europe Word of the chairman Matching cruise industry growth and cruise port capacities Cruise Europe and its more than 100 member ports between Gibraltar in the South, Kirkenes in the North and Lulea in the Baltic still has the potential for growth. Only 75% of the potential cruise ports along the Atlantic coast are members; also one has to include the potential of the cruise ports in Greenland and the area east of the North Cape. The tourist organisations of the ports, the regions, the countries can help as members to make Cruise Europe stronger in marketing the destination Northern Europe to the cruise lines. The aim for Cruise Europe is to match the ongoing growth of the cruise industry in offering better infrastructure in the member ports, which means more cruise terminals, or to point out the diversity of the many destinations and attractions in Northern Europe. Cruise Europe has to open a dialogue with the cruise lines with the intention to spread the growing number of cruise ships and the even bigger cruise passenger capacities over more ports, over more cruise areas, over more countries. The success of the Baltic is also possible in the areas of West Europe, of UK & Ireland and of Norway and Iceland. Cruise lines have to be convinced that all four cruise areas in Northern Europe have equal attractions and many Captain Michael McCarthy good ports to host the growing cruise fleet. Chairman The members of Cruise Europe have to market their cruise area as an attractive cruise Cruise Europe destination in its own. To sell just one port to the cruise line does not help. Cruise ports have to work together to form an itinerary, which works for the cruise lines. Despite the global recession the cruise industry will grow because of the high customer satisfaction. Nowhere customers can find such a perfect holiday: visiting many new destinations, being served with great food in an excellent manner, enjoying state-of-the-art cruise ships with outstanding entertainment, wellness, relaxation and fun. Cruise Europe is part of this cruise product and partner of the cruise lines. Let’s grow with our customers.

  • Barnehagebehovsplan 2019-2028
    RÅDMANN Barnehagebehovsplan 2019-2028 FOTO: ANDERS MARTINSEN FOTOGRAFER VEDTATT BARNEHAGEBEHOVSPLAN 2019-2028 Sammendrag – situasjonen nå: Etter at antall barn i barnehagealder vokste raskt i en lang periode har kommunen nå vært inne i en periode med noe nedgang i antall barn i alderen 1-5 år. Det er av den grunn verken behov på kommunenivå eller økonomisk handlingsrom for å opprette mange nye barnehageplasser i handlingsprogramperioden. Kravet om full barnehagedekning innebærer at det skal være nok plasser innen kommunen. Barnehagebehovsplanen søker likevel å balansere utbygging på både bydel- og delområdenivå for å gjøre hverdagen best mulig for foresatte og å redusere transportbehovet. Hovedopptaket 2018 var krevende og tok lang tid. Årsaken til dette var knapphet på barnehageplasser i delområdene Justvik og Gimlekollen samt delvis også Mosby og Grim. Dette ble løst ved etablering av tidligere Oddernes barnehage som en avdeling til Bergtorasvei barnehage (16 barnehageplasser), i tillegg ble det etablert en småbarnsavdeling ved Blåmann Steinerbarnehage (12 barnehageplasser) på Lund. Rammebetingelser: Det er en vedvarende utfordring med gjeldende finansieringssystem og rammeverk for øvrig å sikre en balansert barnehagekapasitet i det enkelte lokalområde samtidig som det ikke bør være for mange barnehageplasser i kommunen totalt sett. De økonomiske forutsetningene for barnehagesektoren tilsier at antall barn uten rett til plass skal holdes på et visst nivå ettersom barn uten rett til plass pga. alder ikke finansieres av staten. Det betyr at det ikke bør overetableres barnehager. Overetablering vil også kunne føre til tomme plasser i kommunale barnehager som er kostbart, spesielt dersom ikke bemanningen umiddelbart blir tatt ned slik at den står i forhold til antall barn.

  • Handlingsprogram 2019-2022
    RÅDMANN Handlingsprogram 2019-2022 Illustrasjon: Mestres Wåge Arquitectes og MX SI Architectural studio Handlingsprogram for 2019-2022 FORORD Bystyret vedtok handlingsprogram 2019-2022 (økonomiplanen) for Kristiansand kommune 19. desember 2018. Rådmannens forslag ble presentert 24.oktober 2018. Vi går inn i det siste året som dagens kommune. Kristiansand, Søgne og Songdalen skal bli en ny kommune fra 1. januar 2020. Vi er allerede godt i gang med å bygge den nye kommunen, som skal bli Norges beste. Samtidig skal vi drifte nåværende Kristiansand med å gi gode tjenester til innbyggerne. Handlingsprogrammet er offensivt og i tråd med vårt ønske om å føre en ansvarlig økonomisk politikk. Budsjettet bærer preg av tidligere politiske beslutninger og støtter opp om byens visjon «En skapende by med ambisjoner». Deltakelse og tilhørighet er kjernen til god livskvalitet. Alle barn skal ha et apparat med trygge voksenpersoner de kan kontakte om ting som er vanskelig, i tillegg til mulighet til å være en del av felleskapet med andre barn. Programmet "Nye mønstre trygg oppvekst" viser gode resultater og vi øker satsingen så flere familier med særlige utfordringer får mulighet for å delta i programmet. Vi har tidligere lagt opp til lavere priser på SFO for lavinntektsgrupper og innfører nå gratis SFO for funksjonshemmede barn fra 5. trinn. Barnevernet er styrket, og vi øker bevilgningene til skolehelsetjenesten med helsesøstre på barneskolene. Arbeidsledigheten er heldigvis på vei nedover, men vi har behov for å tenke nytt om hvordan vi skal få flere i jobb. Mange er ufrivillig utenfor arbeidslivet, og årsakene er ulike og ofte sammensatt. Mange innvandrere kommer ikke over fra stønad til arbeid, og det er bekymringsfullt at stadig flere unge faller utenfor arbeidslivet.
