Ports and Their Increased Demand -6 new oceangoing ships introduced this year -Average gross tonnage – 102,733 -Average number of lower berths – 2, total ships already in operation -Total capacity of about 482,000 lower berths -Does your country or region have a tourism, port or transport infrastructure strategy or policy that discusses cruise?

Ports and Their Increased Demand -Need for sufficient berths to support an ever growing industry -Each port needs a berthing policy that is transparent and published -Ports need to be able to accommodate waste discharges (garbage, sewage (as applicable)) -Bigger issue as the industry introduces larger ships -Major ports are already congested on peak days -This includes supporting infrastructure

Ports and Their Increased Demand -Examples of issues: -Case #1: Port invests $100M (USD) in new terminals, but only one public bus every hour, and no service on weekends. -Not sufficient for passenger and crew transportation -Case #2: A turnaround port with a new $45M terminal only has 4 taxis available for a ship disembarking 4,000 passengers. -Not sufficient for passenger transportation -Are local stakeholders looking to meet tourist needs? -How can we work with each other to improve guest experience?

Shore-side Incident Response -Many parties involved -Company incident management teams -Federal agencies (U.S. examples - USCG/FBI/CBP) -Local community -Police -Fire department -Hospitals -Port and harbor authorities -Ship agents -Tour companies -Volunteers
