Cruise ships help add ballast to local economies

But the value to Victoria’s economy pales in comparison to Queen Mary 2′s next destination, Sydney. Cruise ship berths at Sydney’s harbour contributed $371 million to New South Wales’ economy last year, according to the report, and that sum is tipped to rise to $1.1 billion by 2019-20.
Queensland’s cruise industry also leaves Victoria’s behind, having added $166 million to the state’s economy last year, which is forecast to rise to $341 million by 2019-20.
David Jones, a spokesman for Carnival, said Victoria benefited less from cruise ship tourism than NSW and Queensland because fewer ships used Melbourne as their home port.
State Tourism Minister Louise Asher said Melbourne had recently lured seven new ships to the Port of Melbourne, bringing the total to 15. ”The value of home-port visits is significantly higher than the estimated $1 million each visiting cruise ship contributes to Melbourne’s economy,” she said.
But the Deloitte report also said the high cost of berthing in Australian ports, among the most expensive in the world, could drive some cruise ships to cheaper harbours in the region.
”High and increasing costs may become a potential barrier to the medium-term growth of the cruise industry in Australia,” the report said. ”Given that higher costs are passed on to passengers as higher prices, to maintain demand at lower prices, operators are likely to allocate ships to a global location where costs are lower, for example the South Pacific or Asia.”
Boat owners told to steer clear of Queen Mary II

The Darwin Harbourmaster has warned boat owners and operators to take care when the largest cruise ship to ever visit Australia comes to Darwin tomorrow morning.
An exclusion zone will be enforced for the arrival of the Queen Mary 2.
The 345 metre ship is carrying more than 2,000 passengers and is due to dock at Fort Hill Wharf at 8am and will leave for Bali in the evening.
A moving exclusion zone will apply 1,000 metres ahead of the ship and 500 metres on either side and astern.
Harbourmaster, Captain Ian Niblock, says safety is paramount because the Queen Mary 2 is the biggest cruise ship to visit Australia.
“(It is) in excess of 45 metres longer than other vessels we get here,” he said.
“While it is very manoeuvrable, the size of the ship can be very deceptive to small boat operators.
“We provide a really good service to all of the cruise ships that call in to Darwin but we need to recognise that this one is a little bit bigger.
“It is very iconic and, therefore, it probably brings some additional interest.
“It is a great day for Darwin.”

Navy asked to make room for Sydney cruise boom

The new South Wales Government is in talks with the Royal Australia Navy to free up space in Sydney Harbour for the city’s booming cruise ship industry.
Ports Minister Duncan Gay says a 43 per cent increase in numbers this year is the state’s biggest tourism success story.
A record 33 cruise ships are scheduled to visit Sydney in February alone, as part of a 214-boat tourism flotilla for the year.
Mr Gay says the future is even brighter, with 264 bookings for 2013.
But he says capacity is an issue, and the Government is in talks with the navy to make room for larger cruise ships at Garden Island.
The navy has been asked to consider moving some of its ships to White Bay, on the other side of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
“There are some navy vessels, large cruise vessels, that can’t get under the bridge, but there are a number of the smaller vessels that could get under,” Mr Gay said.
“Once upon a time there was a mantra that you didn’t put any of the navy vessels west of the Harbour Bridge. Frankly that mantra went when the Great White Fleet last visited Sydney Harbour.
“Residents will still be able to have access to the foreshore at White Bay and the security of those ships will not be an issue.
Obviously there has to be a certain amount of security for a cruise ship when it goes in, with customs and those sort of issues. It would be no different for a short-term visit with a naval vessel.”
The Great White Fleet was the term coined for a battle fleet of the United States Navy that sailed into Sydney in 1908 as part of a round-the-world voyage to demonstrate that country’s military might.

Death ship twin is on way here
Posted by Malcolm in Uncategorized on January 26, 2012
a SISTER ship of the doomed Italian cruise-liner Costa Concordia is on its way to Sydney with the besieged owner vowing it's business as usual.
The Costa Deliziosa is one of a record 210 ships scheduled to visit the harbour city this year – up from 157 in 2011.
As passengers of the Concordia prepare to launch a class action for material damage and having their holidays ruined, the stricken ship’s owner said tours will continue for their remaining 14 ships.
Costa Cruises is sending its 92,700 tonne flagship, the Costa Deliziosa, to Sydney on February 19, with its passengers to spend two days in the city as part of a 100-day round-the-world cruise.
Costa Cruises said on its website it has no plans to alter the schedules of any of its ships, despite the tragedy.
Sydney is becoming one of the world’s most popular stops for cruise operators.
Figures from Sydney Ports show harbour traffic is set to increase next year with 246 cruise ships planning to visit.
NSW Premier Barry O’Farrell attributed the rising popularity of Sydney to the availability of two world-class cruise terminals.
Total expenditure in NSW was estimated at $814 million in 2010-11, up on the $577.8 million spent in 2009-10.

Four P&O cruises ships to leave on world trips

Southampton is to receive a £10m cash boost when thousands of people embark on world cruises from the port in the next two weeks.
P&O Cruises will see the departure of four vessels – Oriana, Aurora, Arcadia and Adonia – on worldwide itineraries, which will take them away from the city for the next three months.
despite the present economic doldrums more than 6,000 passengers will converge on Southampton to begin winter cruises to the far corners of the globe during the first two weeks of January.
It seems more and more people are shrugging off gloomy financial forecasts by choosing to spend the cold winter months in warmer climates on board Southampton-based cruise ships.
World cruises make up one of the industry’s fastest-growing sectors as more and more people see long voyages as offering unrivalled value for money with prices for the 2012 itineraries starting at £82 per person per night, including all meals, entertainment and accommodation on board.
According to P&O Cruises, the most recent research by shipping industry experts indicates the company’s four vessels will generate at least £2.5m each for the local economy during their “turnarounds’’ between voyages in Southampton.
Hotels, restaurants, port and transport services, including Southampton Airport, trains, taxis and coaches, as well as specialist suppliers, are all expected to benefit by the influx of passengers.
On top of this thousands of crew members will head for Southampton’s city centre shops to stock up on personal items for the long voyages ahead.
Collectively the four cruises will visit 148 ports of call, including Buenos Aires, new Orleans, Sydney and Cape Town and cruising in the Amazon, off Cape Horn, Beagle Channel and the Amalia Glacier in Chile.
during their time on board, passengers will consume more than 1,636,600 cups of tea, 3,200,000 sachets of sugar, 21,700 lobsters and 66,000 cocktails.
as each of the four ships leave port they will be flying a special 175th Anniversary flag as P&O Cruises kicks off a full year of celebrations to mark the foundation of the original Peninsular Steam Navigation Company in 1837.
