Adapting to changes requires a proactive and collaborative attitude from the whole port community. Ports need to be aware of the factors that cause change but they can also affect their own future by creating demand, establishing new relations and by attracting shipowners.

  • This Is a Daily Compilation of Media Articles Concerning the Covid-19 Impact to the Global Cruise Industry
    1 THIS IS A DAILY COMPILATION OF MEDIA ARTICLES CONCERNING THE COVID-19 IMPACT TO THE GLOBAL CRUISE INDUSTRY. Please note this isn’t a complete listing of media articles but a snapshot only. 29 March, 2020: PASSENGERS TRANSFERRED FROM VIRUS-STRICKEN CRUISE SHIP OFF PANAMA Passengers on a virus-stricken cruise liner stranded off Central America were transferred to another ship Saturday, after the US-bound vessel was given permission to pass through the Panama Canal. The Zaandam had been stuck in the Pacific Ocean since March 14 after dozens of the 1,800 people on board reported flu-like symptoms and several South American ports refused to let it dock. The ship's Dutch owner Holland America said Friday four passengers had died and two more had tested positive for COVID- 19. Panama on Saturday reversed its decision to block the Zaandam from its canal, and said it would be allowed to pass "to provide humanitarian help." Another ship, the Rotterdam, has since arrived off the coast of Panama from San Diego carrying food, medical staff, testing kits, medicine and food for the beleaguered vessel. Passengers showing no signs of the virus were ferried from the Zaandam to the Rotterdam on Saturday, a French tourist told AFP by telephone. "It's like emptying a bathtub with a teaspoon," she said. "The boats can hold about 100 people, and they are putting about half in at a time. That's why it's going slowly." The Zaandam cruise liner left Buenos Aires on March 7 and was supposed to arrive two weeks later at San Antonio, near Santiago in Chile.

  • Press Release
    Press Release The first AIDA ship of the cruise season docks in Hamburg on Saturday With 74 arrivals, AIDA Cruises is the Hanseatic city’s most important cruise partner On Saturday, February 27, 2016, the first cruise ship of the season – AIDAmar from AIDA Cruises – arrives in Hamburg. Coming from Le Havre, the ship will dock at the Steinwerder Cruise Center at 8 a.m. AIDAmar spent the winter in the Caribbean. The captain of the 253-meter long and 28-meter wide ship is Jörg Miklitza. He will steer AIDAmar back out of the port of Hamburg by 6 p.m. already and set its course on Southampton, Le Havre, Zeebrugge and Amsterdam. With its 74 arrivals, the AIDA season 2016 in Hamburg will be the strongest ever in the company’s history. Between the first arrival on February 27 and the last arrival on December 31, 2016, a total of six AIDA ships will travel to the metropolitan center on the Elbe. These numbers underscore the strong position of AIDA Cruises in Hamburg and the extraordinary economic significance of the company for the Hanseatic city. As of April 30, 2016, AIDAprima will start taking one-week round trips throughout the year to great Western European cities and will be the most frequent guest with 36 arrivals. No other cruise ship has ever visited the Hanseatic city as often in one year. AIDAprima is the first cruise ship with a shore power connection, a comprehensive system for exhaust gas aftertreatment, and a dual fuel engine. This can also be operated directly with LNG, depending on availability.

The role of the ports is crucial for interconnectivity, economic growth and sustainability in the region; they enable both cargo and passenger mobility. This report focuses on the liner traffic between the five so-called PENTA ports: Stockholm, Tallinn, Helsinki Turku and Naantali. The economic situation and foreign trade in each county – Estonia, Finland and Sweden – provides the context for the analysis. The report points out key factors driving the demand for cargo and passenger traffic in each port. The results show that the companies operating the sea routes between these ports have developed different profiles.
