CRUISE SHIPPING
Cruise Shipping
While the global cruise industry still is undoubtedly dominated by North American itineraries and customers, emerging cruise markets, particularly in Europe, will fuel the cruise industry even in times of economic distress.

The Euro Boost
MSC Cruise's second 133,500 ft newbuild, MSC Splendida built by the STX Europe yard in Saint Nazaire, France.
That is the cruise industry's impact in Europe: nearly $18 billion in direct expenditure ... 280,000 jobs and 19 million port visits in Europe in total. The European cruise industry continues to experience significant growth and in 2007 accounted for nearly $18 billion in direct expenditure, a 22 percent increase from the previous year. The industry was responsible for more than 280,000 jobs, up 25 percent on 2006, and nearly 19 million visits were made to European ports. The results, released earlier this year by the European Cruise Council (ECC), demonstrate the importance of Europe to the rapidly expanding cruise industry in terms of jobs, wealth and tourism, particularly during challenging economic times. "There has been a significant increase, more than 53 percent in 2 years, in the number of passengers joining their cruise from a European port, partially the result of the increased number of North American ships now sailing in Europe," said David Dingle, chairman of the ECC and CEO of Carnival UK. This has contributed to the substantial increase in the
amount passengers spend at embarkation ports and ports of call � in the three years the ECC has been collecting data there has been a 56 percent increase to $3.4 billion. Cruise lines spent $6.1 billion on services, supplies and equipment, a 29 percent increase over 2006." "The cruise sector continues to grow in importance to European economies with direct expenditure up 22 percent, embarkation figures up 19 percent and passenger spend up 25 percent in 2007 compared with the previous year," Dingle said. "Latest figures for 2008 show another strong period with a 10 percent increase in the number of European cruise passengers. However, today we see a very different world - nowhere is free from the economic turmoil but I believe the European cruise industry is in a better position than many others and the ECC anticipate further passenger growth in 2009." The ECC commissioned the 2007 economic impact report together with Euroyards, MedCruise and Cruise Europe. Other key results: � 4.3 million passengers joined their cruise at a European port � The number of cruise ships operating in Europe in 2007 rose by 30 percent over 2005, to 182 � Europe is the world leader in building cruise ships and during 2007, the industry spent $6.5 billion on construction
