  • 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.

  • Fleet Fun Facts
    IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING … Carnival Corporation & plc Carnival Corporation & plc, the world’s largest leisure travel company, features nine of the world’s most popular and respected cruise line brands providing extraordinary vacations at an exceptional value, with a fleet of over 100 cruise ships visiting over 700 global destinations. Its brands include Carnival Cruise Line, Princess Cruises, Holland America Line, Seabourn, P&O Cruises (Australia), Costa Cruises, AIDA Cruises, P&O Cruises (UK) and Cunard, as well as Fathom, the corporation’s immersion and enrichment experience brand. Although the name Carnival Corporation officially began in 1993, the foundation for the company was laid when its flagship brand, Carnival Cruise Line, was formed in 1972 with one secondhand ship and just enough fuel to make a one-way trip from Miami to San Juan. Carnival Corporation’s workforce of over 120,000 employees worldwide represents more than 100 countries and serves more than 12 million passengers a year. Nearly half of all people who take a cruise will do so with one of Carnival Corporation’s nine cruise line brands. In May 2016, Carnival Corporation became the first U.S. cruise company in more than 40 years to sail from the U.S. to Cuba – a historic voyage that added another exciting destination to the Caribbean, the world’s most popular region for cruise vacations. With its relentless focus on safety and consistently exceeding guest expectations, Carnival Corporation in July 2016 opened the Arison Maritime Center, home of the Center for Simulator Maritime Training Academy, its world-class training facility, in Almere, Netherlands.

  • 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.
