Home Line’s ITALIA (ex-KUNGSHOLM) is sailing up the Hudson River to her midtown Manhattan berth. (Port Authority of NY & NJ and HAL) THE PORT OF NEW YORK - WATERFRONT REVOLUTION by Ted Scull 1965, the year our PONY Branch was established, produced a bumper crop of outstanding new ships - Home Lines’ OCEANIC in April, Italian Line’s MICHELANGELO in May and RAFFAELLO in August, and Norwegian America’s SAGAFJORD in October. It was also the first full year that our speaker, Ted Scull, worked at Pier 40, the new North American headquarters for Holland America Line. Pier 40 was not a typical finger pier, rather a square facility with a donut hole in the center for handling freight and passengers. It was designed to save longshoremen jobs on the Manhattan waterfront. At the time, freight traffic was robust, and bookings were good for the passenger ships. But parallel revolutions in shipping were already underway, and sooner than anyone imagined. Containerization would almost completely transform the way cargo would be handled and doom New York’s commercial waterfront in favor of the vast acreage available in New Jersey.

    Carnival Corporation & plc Orders New 68,500-Ton Cruise Ship for AIDA Cruises Brand July 13, 2005 Third New 2,030-Passenger Vessel to Serve the Rapidly Expanding German Cruise Market Beginning in Spring 2008 MIAMI, July 13, 2005 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Carnival Corporation & plc (NYSE: CCL; LSE) (NYSE: CUK) has ordered a 68,500-ton cruise ship for its AIDA Cruises brand, which caters exclusively to the German-speaking market, marking the third new ship order placed for its German cruise line in the past nine months. The 2,030-passenger vessel, which will be constructed by Germany's Meyer Werft shipyard at an all-in cost of euro 315 million, is scheduled to enter service in April 2008. It will be a sister ship to AIDA's two previously announced 68,500-ton cruise ships which will be built at Meyer Werft and are expected to enter service in April 2007 and April 2009. Like its sister ships, the new vessel will operate under AIDA's informal "club resort" cruise concept which is aimed at younger, more active vacationers and offers a host of on-board amenities and facilities. "With an expected passenger base of approximately one million by 2010, the German market is expanding at a very rapid pace. Ordering a third 68,500-ton 'club resort' newbuild for AIDA continues our European strategy of developing this fast-growing market by offering cruises with the most exciting, modern ships available for German vacationers," said Micky Arison, Carnival Corporation & plc chairman and CEO. AIDA Cruises revolutionized the German cruise market with the introduction of its first club ships in 1996.
