Cruise Capacity in New South Wales ATE MEDIA INFORMATION | CRUISE CAPACITY IN NEW SOUTH WALES CRUISE CAPACITY IN NEW SOUTH WALES Destination NSW works with cruise lines, ground handlers and the tourism industry to continue to capture the most significant share of the economic benefits delivered by the growing cruise sector. The NSW cruise shipping industry delivered more than twice the economic benefit received by any other state in Australia during 2013-14 with an increase in cruise ships and with passenger and crew days growing by more than 7% from 2012-13 figures. And, for the first time, cruise passenger days through Sydney ports exceeded more than one million. Sydney received around $1.909 billion in cruise-related expenditure while the Port of Newcastle received $17.488 million and the Port of Eden $0.4 million. In response to the need for long term planning, the NSW Government committed Destination NSW to lead the development of a 10-year Cruise Development Plan as part of its agreed actions under the NSW Visitor Economy Industry Action Plan. The strategy has been developed in consultation with key industry and Government stakeholders with recommendations due to be presented in late 2015. CRUISING INTO NSW The cruise industry is looking forward to another bumper year in 2015-16 with 299 ships already booked in to use Port Authority of New South Wales facilities in Sydney. Sydney is Australia’s premier cruise ship destination and the only city in Australia with two dedicated cruise-passenger terminals. The number of cruise ships based in Australia year-round is at a record high with Carnival Cruise Line, P&O Cruises and Princess Cruises set to operate 10 ships offering hundreds of itineraries between them. The Port Authority of New South Wales has upgraded the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay, installing a new mooring point and refurbishing the terminal building to handle the larger cruise ships. To assist with the growth of cruise ships into Sydney, the White Bay Cruise Terminal located near the Anzac Bridge near TOP: QUEEN MARY 2 IN SYDNEY HARBOUR. Balmain was opened in 2013. Both terminals are a short distance BOTTOM: CRUISE SHIP DOCKED AT CIRCULAR QUAY. from Sydney’s major tourist attractions and shopping centres, and are within 30 minutes of Sydney Airport. Meanwhile, Royal Caribbean International has announced that its Ovation of the Seas will use Sydney as its homeport when it arrives in December 2016. Ovation will join fleet mates Radiance, Voyager, Explorer and Legend of the Seas. Carrying around 5,000 passengers and a crew of 1,500, it will be the largest cruise ship to ever sail out of Australia, as well as being the most technologically advanced vessel in the region. Amazing features such as a skydiving simulator, surf simulator, bumper cars and the 90m-high Northstar viewing capsule are set to take the industry to the next level. The state’s other cruise-ship ports are the Port of Newcastle (gateway to The Hunter) and the Port of Eden (which accesses the South Coast). NSW ports provide visitors with diverse local attractions as well as a range of destinations and experiences in surrounding areas.

  • Retrofitting a Goliath of The
    COVER STORY Pacific Dawn retrofit team from Inter-Marine. Retrofitting a goliath of the sea An Australian heavy marine specialist recently claimed a successful world-first refrigerant retrofit onboard Australia’s first super cruise liner. In doing so, the company ensured the ship’s numerous HVAC&R systems are future-proofed as it continues to sail the South Pacific, writes Sean McGowan. Anyone who has ever had the pleasure of taking a holiday on a super cruise liner can attest to both the enormity and grandeur of these vessels. Australia’s own MV Pacific Dawn is no exception. Designed by renowned Italian architect Renzo Piano and built by the Fincantieri shipyard in Monfalcone, the Pacific Dawn was originally named Regal Princess by former UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher before its maiden voyage from Fort Lauderdale in the US, to the Caribbean in 1991. The ship has since collected more stamps in its passport than even the most intrepid traveler. It alternated between cruises to the Caribbean during northern hemisphere winters to Alaska during their summer, before heading to Australia earlier this decade. In 2003, it returned to the Mediterranean before again sailing out of New York for a period of time, until in 2007 it was transferred permanently to the P&O Cruises Australia fleet, and subsequently renamed Pacific Dawn by Olympic gold medalist Cathy Freeman. Accommodating approximately 2,680 passengers and crew, the 70,000 tonne cruise liner has since enjoyed two years in service sailing to various destinations across the Pacific out of Brisbane. Pacific Dawn in Sydney Harbour Measuring some 245m in length, it is almost one and half times the length of Sydney’s ANZ Stadium.

  • Globalization of the Cruise Industry: a Tale of Ships Part II - Asia Post 1994 Andrew O
    Chapter Globalization of the Cruise Industry: A Tale of Ships Part II - Asia Post 1994 Andrew O. Coggins Abstract Cruising has grown over 7% a year since 1980. Sustained rapid expansion in North America, followed by local expansion in Europe and Asia, has made cruis- ing a global industry, with 365 ships and estimated sales of $37.8 US billion (CIN, 2017). This global development has been fueled by innovation and introduction of market changing resident ships appealing to the mass traveler which were quickly matched by competitors, establishment of industry and port marketing organizations, awareness of cruising as a vacation option, and availability of suitable port and berthing facilities. When these four conditions coexisted the industry experienced rapid growth. Since 1966, the cruise industry has developed from a Miami-centered industry to a global industry centered in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia/New Zealand. Given the high cost of state-of-the-art ships, their deployment is a good indication of industry’s confidence in market growth. This chapter chronicles the development of the Asian cruise industry from 1994 through 2017. Data from Cruise Industry News Annual Reports (CIN) and Berlitz Complete Guide to Cruising and Cruise Ships (Ward) are examined and conclusions are drawn. Keywords: innovation, cruising, Asia, tourism, globalization 1. Introduction Shipping by its nature has always been global. With the development of alter- native means of transporting passengers and mail and the subsequent demise of national fleets (ships built in the owner’s country, registered in that country, crewed by citizens of that country, and in some cases constructed in that country), shipping has become even more global.
