  • WEB SITE UPDATE B2C Itinerary Updates 11/03/2020
    WEB SITE UPDATE B2C Itinerary Updates 11/03/2020 Due the continued Covid-19 crisis development in many of the countries where we operate, the restrictions imposed by various government and port authorities, and the safety measures we put in place since January, we are forced to adjust or cancel some of our itineraries. These decisions reflect the situation as it continuously evolves. We are in contact with governments, health authorities and local authorities to monitor any news and we will keep adjusting our operations as often as required to protect the health of our guests and crew members. It’s worth noting however that as of today most of our fleet continues to operate as planned, and we have had no Covid-19 case on our ships. In the Emirates due to a limitation on passenger’s movement imposed by the local authorities we are cancelling the cruises of MSC Bellissima and MSC Lirica starting from March 14, including the Grand Voyages of MSC Bellissima on March 21 and that of MSC Lirica on April 18 In the Mediterranean due to the limitation of movements requested by the Italian government, embarkation disembarkation and transit are not possible at the moment. Consequently, we are adjusting the itineraries of MSC Grandiosa and we are cancelling the cruises of MSC Opera from March 10 to April 21. For both programs as well as for other smaller changes, all details are available in the table below. Please note we may have to do further adjustments as the situation evolves. For the cruises we are forced to cancel we will offer to our guests a voucher equal to the value of the cancelled cruise, to be used for any future sailing departing before the end of 2021 plus an on board credit of €100 per cabin for cancelled cruises up to 6 nights and €200 for cruises of 7 nights or longer.

ABSTRACT Selection of the appropriate Roll-on Roll-off (Ro-Ro) port is one of the crucial tasks for the maritime industry. Because there are many factors affecting the selection process, this selection process is essentially a multi-criteria decision-making problem. This paper proposes a integrated approach consisting of the CRITIC (Criteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation) technique and the EDAS (Evaluation based on Distance from Average Solution) method to evaluate the Ro-Ro marine ports selection.
