Author: MedCruise

Med Cruise was set up in Rome in June 1996. Being the Association of Meditararranen Cruise Ports MedCruises mission is to disseminate the cruise industry from within the Mediterranean and accompanying seas. Assisting members expand in the cruise industry with allocating network connections as well of development opportunities.

Having grown to over 55 members and all in all representing 78 ports of which include the majority from within the Mediterranean. The Black and Red Sea to name a few. Medcruise represent associations in other ports as well as tourist boards and shipping agents.

Medcruise aims to increase the efficiency of cruise members by giving and receiving information of which is related to cruise passenger traffic, new touristic developments from within geographical areas. Medcruise formulates policies and plans on questions from common interests and cruise related policies

Shipping agencies tend to be there at their best when they continue to develop and maintain good interpersonal relations along with the other cruise ports of the world and from the cruise industry in general..

With an expected growth of 2.8 percent in the coming year and according to new projections from the trade group of which represents the cruise industry, an increase will arrive firstly from an extra group of new ships.

Cruise ships are passenger ships which are used for pleasure voyages. The voyage itself and the ships facilities incorporate into the experience as with the many destinations. Transporting is not necessarily the prime reason for cruise ships as they tend to operate mostly on routes that take passengers to an originating port, so the ports of call are usually located in a certain area of a continent.

Dedicated transport orientated liners transport passengers from one point to another as opposed to round trips. Conventionally, an ocean liner of the transoceanic trade can be built to a much higher standard than the typical cruise ship, of which include high freeboard and tougher plating of which could withstand the roughest of seas and heavy conditions. Ocean liners generally possess bigger and more spacious areas when it comes to fuel and other stores for consumption.

Ocean liners and cruise ships are differently constructed however the larger ships are usually employed for longer destinations such as transoceanic trips which leave and return from the same port within the space of months. There are occasions were ocean liners start to operate as cruise ships although this trend has started to diminish.

With cruising becoming a huge contributor of the tourism industry carrying over 19 million passengers worldwide in 2011 alone. Rapid growth of the industry is quite significant resulting in new ships being constructed and added year upon year. Pacific regions are generally served by well matured ships and are removed by the newer ships from within high growth areas.

With cruise ships generating quite a large waste which can put the marine environment at risk they also give out pollution in the air and water. Wastes when not specifically treated and managed correctly can cause a wealth of toxic problems. With these problems handled in recent times the cruise industry is much more productive than ever.
