Dear members and associates, PHOTO: Shipping has been hit by some major casualties Ahlsén Jonas recently. Apart from our own Rena container ship grounding in October last year, the industry saw the Costa Concordia cruise ship capsize in January this year. How can these incidents happen? How can these severe groundings occur? I was asked that question by my children and it was not that easy to answer in Lars Rhodin fact.

  • Cruise Ship Owners/Operators and Passenger Ship Financing & Management Companies
    More than a Directory! Cruise Ship Owners/Operators and Passenger Ship Financing & Management Companies 1st Edition, April 2013 © 2013 by J. R. Kuehmayer www.amem.at Cruise Ship Owners / Operators Preface The AMEM Publication “Cruise Ship Owners/Operators and Passenger Ship Financing & Management Compa- nies” in fact is more than a directory! Company co-ordinates It is not only the most comprehensively and accurately structured listing of cruise ship owners and operators in the industry, despite the fact that the majority of cruise lines is more and more keeping both the company’s coordinates and the managerial staff secret. The entire industry is obtrusively focused on selling their services weeks and months ahead of the specific cruise date, collecting the money at a premature stage and staying almost unattainable for their clients pre and after cruise requests. They simply ignore the fact that there are suppliers and partners around who wish to keep in touch personally at least with the cruise line’s technical and procurement departments! The rest of the networking-information is camouflaged by the yellow-pages industry, which is facing a real prospect of extinction. The economic downturn is sending the already ailing business into a tailspin. The yellow-pages publishers basically give back in one downturn what took seven years to grow! Cruise Ship Financing It is more than a directory as it unveils the shift in the ship financing sector and uncovers how fast the traditional financiers to the cruise shipping industry fade away and perverted forms of financing are gaining ground. Admittedly there are some traditional banks around, which can maintain their market position through a blend of sober judgements, judicious risk management and solid relationships.

  • Carnival Corporation: the Costa Concordia Crisis Case A
    Carnival Corporation: The Costa Concordia Crisis Case A “We were stuck. He told us we couldn’t get off. I thought my baby was going to die – I thought we were all going to die. The Captain just went, he just left the boat, left us there. I just cannot believe it.”1 Isabelle Mougin, Passenger "I haven't lost hope yet, anything can still happen, a miracle. He may be injured, he may have lost consciousness, anything may have happened. I still have hope, I always have hope. Hope is the last thing to die.”2 Kevin Rubello, Brother to Missing Costa Concordia Employee On January 13, 2012, MickyArison (“Mr. Arison”) sat on a deck chair on the starboard side of one his company’s many cruise ships and enjoyed the view of the lush, green island of St. Bart’s. It was a beautiful, warm day and the sun was reflecting off the clear, tranquil Caribbean water. Since taking the helm of the cruise company founded in 1972 by his father, Mr. Arison had successfully established Carnival as the largest cruise operator in the world. Through a series of cruise line acquisitions across the globe, Mr. Arison had grown the company from one cruise line to a company comprised of 10 cruise lines, operating a combined total of over 101 ships. While the company’s earnings per share (EPS) was slightly lower in 2011 than in 2010, the company was successfully coping with the global recession. With signs of a global economic recovery appearing, Mr. Arison sat back in his chair and while sipping a cup of tea and assured himself that the turbulent waters of the global recession were in his company’s wake.
