ABSTRACT
India with its rapid economic development, huge population and a 7,500 km long coastline is
regarded as a market with immense potential for more number of tourists and new destinations.
Presently, Mumbai and Kochi are the favored ports of call in India for international cruise ships.
It is expected that the cruise tourism industry in the country would witness rapid growth once
required infrastructure is in place. This would lead to the development of three major regional
cruise corridors -Mumbai-Lakshadweep-Mumbai; Goa-Lakshadweep-Kochi-Goa; Kechi-
Maldives - Colombo-Kochi. In the two corridors, Kochi is expected to have at least one port of
call. Therefore, a cruise terminal in the state is a necessity.
"Cruise terminal is a project with a long gestation period and revenue from terminal operation,
when compared to the investment, may not be attractive. Considering this fact, we propose a mix
of commercial activities together with the main business."
The feasibility report and business plan for the proposed international cruise terminal and public
plaza at Kochi (Kerala) has suggested setting up the world-class facilities on the tested public-
private partnership model under the build, operate and transfer (BOT) structure. This study
focuses on designing a Cruise terminal. Thus, it is important to study other International Cruise
Terminal so as to compare and provide solutions to meet the terminal requirements on an
International level.

5.SCOPE
6.LIMITATIONS

1.1 CRUISE TERMINAL
A Cruise Terminal is a building at a seaport where passengers transfer between ground
transportation and the facilities that allow them to board and disembark from cruise ship. Within
the terminal, passengers purchase tickets, transfer their luggage, and go through security.
However, the public has always seen the waterfront as a place for scenic recreation. Mixed-use
developments offering retail, entertainment, aquariums, and other attractions have been
located at the waterfront and integrated into the urban fabric.
1.2 WHY CRUISE TERMINAL?
By creating such infrastructure, India's global image would be redeveloped. Personal Reason - I
loved the experience of travelling on a Cruise. India has a lot of tourism potential; it would give a
head start to it.
1.3 NEED TO STUDY
It is known that in India the international cruise destinations are Mumbai, Goa and Cochin.
Since Cruise tourism is one of the most developing industries in India, the need of terminals at such
destination is a call of need now. The terminal buildings at Mumbai and Cochin provided do not meet the
international needs and facilities for an ‘International Cruise Terminal’. A new international cruise
terminal has been proposed in Mumbai and is expected to be ready by 2019. Cochin is one such
destination which may not be a port of call but has one of the largest tourist place in the nation. Also it is
an emerging need for the domestic tourism. Thus a Cruise Terminal can cater as a gateway to Cochin for
both the domestic as well as the international cruises and can be a landmark.
Figure 1 - CRUISE VIEW

1.4 AIMS AND OBJECTIVE
The main aim of the design is to provide a cruise terminal which will serve as an intermediate
port for international cruises and a destination for the domestic cruises as the government seeks
to give importance to Cochin as an overall tourist destination. The terminal should be an initiative
to boost cruise tourism within the country as well. Also to have public participation / public
spaces which will add to the revenue to the terminal. The research will explore various design
aspects that will make up a Cruise Terminal and implement it.
1.5 SCOPE
The facilities provided at the present cruise terminals are falling short of passenger handlings and
services. Since the terminal is a public building, it will be open to all kinds of passengers with a
diverse range of backgrounds. The design would serve to be as an important structure and a
gateway to Kochi.
1.6 LIMITATIONS
Statistically, the international terminal will be used 4 times a month. Thus, areas are to be
provided which will keep the terminal will be used during other times as well. Since Kochi is an
intermediate point, there is no embarkation and disembarkation of luggage's. Thus, baggage
handling and such service areas are to be looked upon. As far as the domestic cruises is
concerned, the development is at a slower paseo. Statistic shows that the development of
domestic cruises will boost after 10yrs. Thus an area would be dedicated as future development
it but there would be no design for domestic terminal as such. It would improve the lost economy
of the ports.

2.1 - CRUISE TOURISM
Tourism has, since the 1950’ s, became an
extremely popular, global activity. A Cruise is
generally a defined package that includes a cruise
itinerary spanning a defined period of time.
Cruises, which were at one time considered as the
prerogative of the rich, is today a fast reaching
option for the wider leisure market. Representing
one of the fastest growing sectors worldwide,
Cruise market trends indicate a qualitative as
well as quantitative consolidation in the
industry, with cruising gaining greater significance in the global ‘Tourism Pie’.
There are 4 dominant factors that make up cruising:
Attractions – include interesting destinations and itineraries,
Facilities on board – include a total holiday and entertainment package,
Transportation – having the ability to move from one place to another without the need of
packing and unpacking at each destination,
Hospitality – having professional staff looking after you in luxury.
2.2 - EMERGENCE OF CRUISE INDUTRY
Boats are not the oldest form of transport, but from ancient times
up until the invention of steam they were the mode most easily
advanced. Global exploration and navigation was pioneered via
the sea, while inland the movement of mass load for trading and
construction purposes was predominantly facilitated by boat on
rivers on manmade canals. Cruise tourism made its small
beginnings in 1839 as part of the fortnightly crossing mail service
between Liverpool and Boston. The increasing travel demand
through the 1950's and into the 60's kept the liners busy crossing
with tourists from both continents. Ships began to cater solely to
passengers, rather than to cargo or mail contracts, and added
luxuries like electric lights, more deck space, and entertainment.
By the early 20th century the concept of the superliner was
developed and Germany led the market in the development of these massive and ornate floating
hotels. The design of these liners attempted to minimize the discomfort of ocean travel, masking
the fact of being at sea and the extremes in weather as much as possible through elegant
accommodations and planned activities.
2.3 - GLOBAL SENARIO
At global level, tourism has emerged as one of the major economic activities today. In 1995, the
World Tourist arrival were about 567.4 millionof whichEurope’sshare way by Americawith 20 %.
Theshareof SouthAsian region was an abysmally low 0.8 % According to WTO estimates, Europe
will continue to remain the most popular tourist destination with about 717 million tourist
estimated for the year 2020. International tourists arrival in South Asia is expected at 19 million
in 2020, which is almost 5 times that of 1995, but still quite low as compared to other
destinations. India is expected to fuel 4.5 times growth in international tourist arrivals, more than

Share of India 2.1 0.4
2.4 - HISTORIC LEVELS OF WORLWIDE GROWTH
Over the past two decades, the cruise
industry has emerged as one of the
fastest growing and popular segments
of the worldwide travel and leisure
industry. In 1980, 1.4 million
individuals embarked on a
conventional cruise operated by a
North American cruise operator, a level
that has climbed to approximately 14.3
million by 2007.2 Cruise statistics for
2007 generated an approximate 4.1%
growth rate for North American
passengers. Critical growth has also
been seen in the U.K., European Continental and Asian cruise markets over this time period.
Growth of the conventional worldwide market provides cruise operators with the impetus to
expand current market offerings and expand into new and growing market sectors worldwide.
With continued cruise passenger growth, this points to further expansion of the cruise industry.
For the Asia‐Pacific region, specifically Mumbai this means that the cruise industry is working to
expand the potential in the region for cruise passenger growth which will be reflected in the
additional presence of cruise vessels in the region to create and support this growth
potential.

2.7 - TYPES OF CRUISE TERMINAL
• Home Port
As a Home Port or Hub Port, the port would act as the base for a cruise ship, which would take
passengers around a cruise circuit and then come back to the home port to berth. The traveler
would either ‘fly in’ or drive in to the home ports to take their cruise.
• Port of Call
As a Port of Call the port would act as the transit and receiving ports to national and
international ships that touch several destinations as part of their cruise circuit. Travelers
who disembark at the port visit destinations either close at hand or may sometimes even fly
to distant destinations. At times travelers who disembark at a particular port may embark the
ship at some other port closer to he destination they have chosen to visit.
2.8 - TYPES OF CRUISES
• Ocean Voyages: A one-way passage from one point to another over a major
body of water.
• Standard Cruises: An open water cruise may be one-way or round-trip with
several ports of call.
• River/Canal Cruises: River and canal cruises are closely linked to the culture and heritage
of the country being toured.
• Destination / Expedition Cruises: based on the destination to be visited.

• Day Cruises: Day cruises are typically a cruise experience of 15 hours or less.
• Luxury Cruises: offering high style luxury with emphasis on destinations and
ship-board amenities.

3.1 - Role of tourism in Indian economy
Tourism has been an effective instrument for creating employment, earing revenue and foreign
exchange, enhancing environment, preserving culture and tradition. It can ensure an overall
development in a sustainable manner. Economic diversification and technological improvement
have created a conducive environment for tourism development in present age of globalization.
The tourism industry in India plays a significant role in transforming the society and economy.
As an instrument for development, it contributes to sustainable human development through
poverty alleviation, employment generation and environment regeneration in remote and
backward areas. The Indian tourism industry is growing and playing an influential role in India’s
economy with the help of many enablers life improved infrastructure, enhanced
telecommunication network and better skilled manpower.
According to the world tourism organization (WTO), an important indicator of the role of
international tourism is its generation of foreign exchange earnings. Tourism is one of the top
five export categories for as many as 83 percent of countries and is a main source of foreign
exchange earnings for at least 38 percent of countries. WTO has estimated that there will be 1.6
billion international tourists by the year 2020 and Asia will emerge as the second region to be the
most visited in the world. India being rich in cultural and natural heritage is likely to experience
its share in global tourism. In India, tourism is a tool for economic development and employment
generation, particularly in remote and backward areas.
3.2 - Kerala – god’s own country for travellers
Kerala, the lush green strip on the south west coast of India lies snuggled between the vast
Arabian Sea on its west and the Western Ghats in the east. This tropical paradise with its
spectacular and diverse natural attractions has long attracted holidaymakers from across the
world. A 600-kilometer-long coastline stretching across 11 out of its fourteen districts, emerald
backwaters, exotic wild life, beautiful waterfalls, historic monuments and misty hill stations has
made it one of the most acclaimed tourism potential states in the world. The centuries old holistic
medicine of Ayurveda, the unique boat race that is the largest team sport in the world, the ride
through the winding waterways in a cozy houseboat or the colorful and exotic festivals, Kerala
offers a multitude of natural beauty is further enhanced by a rich tradition of music and arts
dating back over a thousand years, making Kerala truly god’s own country.
Today, Kerala’s ‘backwaters’ and ‘Ayurveda’ are globally identified and uniquely positioned. In
the recent past, tourism has emerged as Kerala’s core competency sector. Kerala is today the
most acclaimed tourist destination in India with its distinctive ‘God’s Own Country’ branding.
Kerala is increasingly rated as one of the discerning foreign tourists, but also by the domestic
tourists.
Tourism is considered to be the biggest contributor to the growth of service sector in Kerala. Ever
since tourism was declared as an industry in 1986, several incentives which were available to the
investors in other industrial sectors have been extended to the tourism sector as well by the state
government.
3.3 - Growing cruise tourism and its possibilities
In the last three decades, the global leisure cruise industry has experienced continuous growth
and its often regarded as the ‘fastest growing segment’ of the tourism sector. According to
various studies, since 1980, global cruise passenger numbers have expanded at an annualized
rate of nearly 8%. Despite the enhanced infrastructure faculties, the cruise industry to date

remains highly concentrated in a handful of destination markets. Overwhelmingly, cruise
shipping is focused in the Caribbean, cruise shipping is focused in the Caribbean and
Mediterranean regions, with 84% of total deployed capacity serving the broader North American
and European markets.
Cruise tourists thoroughly concern the zones in which cruise lines operate. The time of year and
the climate conditions are key factors in selecting a zone as of selecting a destination on land.
The Caribbean remains the leading zone in cruise tourism especially during the winter period. As
cruise tourism has increased, the market has evolved into four main segments: “luxury”,
“premium”, “contemporary” and “budget”. The fastest growing sector is the “contemporary” or
large-scale consumption segment, followed by premium. Between 2006 and 2010, nearly 70% of
the additional capacity went to the two segments and there were no orders for ship construction
in the “luxury” segment. This trend makes the cruise segment move up to the scale for resorts in
general. Two segments are particularly large in specialization in terms of itineraries and type of
ships. They are cruises for families with children, and thematic cruises. Thematic cruises are
centered on various educational themes and/ or recreational activities including wine tasting,
cinema, golf, etc. Another growing specialized cruise is cultural cruise, where specialists in various
fields host lectures and presentations end route to the sites to be visited at each destination, and
business convention and incentive travel. Singapore is one of the fastest growing ports in the
world and the largest is Asia, although Hong Kong, china, is starting to give it competition. It is
expected that all major cruise lines will dedicate more cruises to the region in the coming years.
3.4 - Potential of Cochin Port to emerge as a leading cruise destination
Cochin Port is one of the leading cruise destinations in the country attracting majority of the
cruise ships sailing in this part of the world. With large number of tourist attractions in close
vicinity, cochin will continue to attract a greater number of cruise vessels in the coming years.
Ayurveda is one of the leading segments of offerings from Kerala which attracts tourists to visit
Kerala. Ayurveda has been a part of Kerala lifestyle and climatically and naturally Kerala is suited
for practicing Ayurveda. Kerala and Ayurveda have virtually become synonymous with each other
and plays a big role attracting foreign tourists.
India’s finest beaches are in Kerala. For virtually its entire 600km length, the Kerala coast is lined
with sandy beaches, rocky promontories and coconut palms. Renowned for its long coastline
Kerala’s palm fringed beaches are a favored destination for tourists, offering tremendous scope
for the development of accommodation and recreational facilities.
Backwaters is one of the biggest USP of Kerala and the backwaters in Kerala are in chain of
brackish lagoons and lakes lying parallel to Arabian sea coast (Malabar coast). Kettuvallams or
the Kerala houseboats in the backwater are one of the prominent attractions in Kerala. Travelling
by houseboats along the backwaters in one of the highlights of a visit to Kerala and has been
attracting hordes of visitors. Alleppey, the “Venice of the East” has a large network of canals is
also a major tourist spot in this regard. Based on the Kerala tradition, facilities and services
offered, the state has positioned the ‘house boat’ concept in an attractive manner for tourists.
3.5 - Cruise berthing and terminal facilities at cochin port
Facilities provided at the cruise terminal plays an important role in attracting more ships and
tourists to a destination since the sole objective is enhanced holiday experience. Hence the cruise
ship operators demand a high quality of port and related infrastructure to consider the ports as
part of their itinerary. Similarly, they require that the whole experience for the cruise tourist in
the country be such that it creates publicity for their product offering.

Cochin port currently berths the cruise ships at Samudrika which is a full-fledged cruise passenger
facility.
However samudrika can accommodate vessels of LOA up to 260m due to limitations in turning
circle for ships at the channel. Therefore, larger vessels are berths at Ernakulam Wharf which has
limited facilities for cruise ships. The customs and immigration facilities are therefore carried out
elsewhere which is at a distance of 2kms to 3 kms from Ernakulam wharf. This involves moving
of the passengers and deployment of vehicles and CISF staff which is a very cumbersome process
for the international passengers in view of the above constraints, it is proposed to redevelop the
Ernakulam Warf and set up a cruise terminal of International Standards.
3.6 - Proposed Project
The two main industries that comprise the activity of tourism are hospitality and travel industries.
Providing a mesmerizing experience at the terminal has been made as the basis for developing
the facilities in the proposed new terminal. Considering the present traffic and expected future
flow of cruise tourists to kochi, a cruise terminal facility of 2253sq m has been designed. The
design has been carried out capturing all the necessary arrangements for the successful
functioning of a state-of-the-art cruise terminal facility with adequate margin for future growth
and expansion. The project cost estimated is 25-75 crore rupees. The “Kerala Architecture”
facility proposed is expected to emerge a landmark facility in cochin port area. The establishment
of this facility is hugely benefit to the socio-economic benefit in the region. The local tourism
industry will find this facility as an enabler in enhancing their revenue generation leading to
improved living conditions.
3.7 - Socio- economic Benefits
The regional economic impact of tourism expenditure is generally greater than the direct spend
of tourists. Economic benefits and costs of tourism reach virtually everyone in the region in one
way or another. Cruise tourism offers both direct and indirect effects to the region. The travel
and purchases affected by the visiting tourist’s forms the direct effect.
The proposed cruise terminal and allied facilities are expected to provide direct jobs to people in
the region as tour guides, store keepers/ managers, drivers, housekeeping etc. Indirect
employment is generated through logistics, food production and retail. Visitors’ expenditure
generates income for the local community. Since Kerala economy depends heavily on tourism
like service sector industries, the proposed development of cruise terminal will bring economic
and social benefits to region in short- and long-term basis.
The world class terminal will attract more cruise ships and tourists to Kochi adding one more
stream for the ever-growing Kerala tourism industry. The project facility, along with sector
backed by promotional policies by state and central governments will prove a big game changer
to the cruise tourism in India for the future.
The project thus offers a big incentive to the overall development of the region.

4.1 - YOKOHAMA INTERNATIONAL CRUISE TERMINAL
About the port:
• Yokohama is a port city in Kanagawa Prefecture which is next to Tokyo, the capital of
Japan.
• The word "Osanbashi, means a big pier in Japanese. Since its opening, the Osanbashi Pier
has served as the Pacific Ocean gateway for Japan.
• The Osanbashi Yokohama International Passenger Terminal is a major port where foreign
cruise ships dock during international cruises.
• Architects: designed by Alejandro Zaera Polo and Farshid Moussavi (a UK based architect).
• With a maxim um height of 70m and width of 15m, surrounded by the sea, it features
Yokohama 's best views of the Minato Mirai skyline, and the pier is one of the most
creative architectural achievements.
• The construction work was carried out, using various detailed engineering studies based
on their prize-winning design. With abundant curved surfaces, its unique form and a
massive column-free space, this design was proving to be one of the most innovative
projects ever constructed. The building attracted attention not only domestically, but also
internationally.
LOCATION: Yokahama, Japan
BUILT IN: 2002
BUILTUP AREA: 30,100SQM
CLIMATE: Humid subtropical climate
The design of the Yokohama
International Port Terminal was part of
a competition won in 1995 by Foreign
Office Architects. The Terminal was completed in 2002 in time for the World Cup, hosted by Japan
in that year. The ambition of the architects was to create a pier “where you never retrace your
steps.” The idea was that a visitor could travel the pier in any direction and would experience a
continuous forward momentum. The Yokohama Terminal was a highly ambitious project on a
large scale. It was also one of the first projects in a new generation of cyber-influenced
architecture.
CONCEPT:
The project staffs with what the architects have named as the "No Return Pier', with the ambition
to structure the precinct of the pier as a fluid, uninterrupted and multi-directional space, rather
than a gateway to flows of fixed orientation. A series of programmatically specific interlocking
circulation loops allow the architects to subvert the traditional linear and branching structure
characteristic of the building. Rather than developing the building as an object or figure on the
pier, the project is produced as an extension of the urban ground, constructed as a systematic
transformation of the lines of the circulation diagram into folded and bifurcated surface. The
fold’s produce covered surfaces where the different parts of the program can be hosted.
Figure 18 – LOCATION YOKOHAMA

FEATURES OF THE TERMINAL:
The Terminal can accommodate up to four
LOA class vessels or two class vessels at the
same time. The height of the building is
designed to allow passengers to
comfortably get on and off vessels, but at
the same time it hovers on the horizon so as
not to interrupt the view of the Port. The
rooftop is gently curved if it was symbolizing
rolling waves. As the pier projects into the
sea, visitors coming from the land would
usually have to walk to the end of the pier and return all the way back again towards the land to
leave the pier. Given this, the Terminal has diverse Baggage’s for better navigability based on the
concept of serving a citizens' park.
CIRCULATION SEQUENCE:
The circulation sequence shows the nodes of interest
as one would approach and enter the port from the
city. the approach shows pedestrian and vehicular
sequence. One can perceive how the programmatic
elements are merely zones and there is no concrete
separation between zones of program and
circulation. the overlapping zones provide for the
diagram at right where only the beginning and end of
the sequence are non overlapping nodes.
MOVEMENT FLOW OF PASSENGERS:
The circulation sequence shows the nodes of interest
as one would approach and enter the port from the
city.
• The approach shows pedestrian and vehicular
sequence. One can perceive how the
programmatic elements are merely zones and
there is no concrete separation between
zones of program and circulation.
• The overlapping zones provide for the
diagram at right where only the beginning and
end of the sequence are non-overlapping
nodes.
• The utilization and perception of the space is
constantly modified by the size and
arrangement of the ships.
• The major circulation paths become evident
during high traffic times but the gentle curves of the structure allow people to flow almost
completely unrestricted.
Figure 19 - BIRD EYE VIEW
Figure 20 - CIRCULATION SEQUENCE
Figure 21 - MOMENT FLOW OF PASSENGERS

• The two distinct flows are that of embarking and disembarking, the two overlap
constantly, and adding minor circulatory flows such as visitor and passenger pick up,
completely bring the architecture to life.

passengers baggage down on the delivery trucks on the ground floor.
• The slightly tilted rectangular steel tubs on the two sides are called “girders”. They are
the main supporting structures of this building. Inside these tubes are the slopes
connecting to other floors.
• Triangular pyramids made of folded steel plates are placed over the girders. The plates
act as the support for the ceiling and the floor.
• Light within the lobby comes from the indirect light of the mercury lamps on the girders
reflected from the ceiling.
• Most of the air conditioning in the terminal comes from the floor, not the ceiling.
CRUISE DECKS:
• The fences are folded inwards all along the deck to provide room for the connecting
boarding bridges.
• These boarding bridges are required to allow the passengers to safety board and
disembark from the docked ships.
OSANBASIN HALL – 2,000 sq.m.:
• This multi-purpose osanbasin hall is located at the end of the 1st
floor.
• Through the huge glass wall, you can see vessels coming to and leaving the port and enjoy
the scenery of the bay.
• With a ceiling height of 6-8 m and an area of 2,000 sq.m., the osanbasin hall can be the
venue for a variety of events, such as lecture meetings, exhibitions, parties and weddings.
• There is also a restaurant on the Shinko side (facing the red brick warehouse).
CIQ FACILITIES 9CIQ PLAZA) – 3,000 sq.m.:
• CIQ (Customs, Immigration and Quarantine) facilities are for those passengers arriving on
foreign cruise ships who are required to go through the customs, immigration quarantine
procedures. The total area is approximately 3,000 sq.m.
• The conveyor belts provided on both side of the plaza can send the passengers baggage,
which has been unloaded from ships onto the apron on the ground floor, up to the CIQ
facilities for inspection.
• The inspection desks, station, partitions and all other inspection equipment's in the CIQ
plaza are designed to install wheels so that they can be easily rolled into another are. This
allows the plaza to be turned into a large event hall when not in use as an inspection area.
TERRACE FLOOR:
Figure 31 - TERRACE PLAN

ROOF TOP PLAZA:
• The rooftop level is
open 24 hours, an
open air plaza
furnished with
wooden decks and
natural grass
lawns.
• The buildings
height was kept at
the lowest level
(15m max.) to
enhance the
spectacular appearance of ships.
• Cruise ships calling at the terminal can be seen from the mainland, and passengers on-
board can enjoy the unobstructed views of the port and the city.
• The rooftop plaza is one of the best locations to enjoy the scenery of the Yokohama
waterfront district. On a clear day, you can also see Mt. Fuji in the distance.
OUTDOOR EVENT PLAZA:
The space near the entrance to the Osanbasin hall can be used as a stage for events like mini-
concerts and dance performances, with the surroundings steps functioning as audience seats.
VISITORS DECKS:
• On the rooftop, visitor’s decks are provided on both sides for visitors to welcome arriving
cruise ships or see the passengers off.
• The terminal can concurrently accommodate two 70,000-ton cruise vessels, on four
30,000-ton class vessels.
SUNSHADES AND BUFFER STOPS:
• Wooden board sunshades are provided on the rooftop to help keep you cool on summer
days.
• Small cylindrical buffer stops are provided on the deck floor to mark the areas with the
highest strength which will allow direct access for emergency vehicles.
• The lighting provided on the rooftop is designed to be intentionally out of alignment with
the building, representing the architect’s intention to create asymmetrical forms.
CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL:
The non-decorative appearance of the structural frame is one of the special feature of this
building. A special metal spray technology is applied to the steel to achieve fire resistance without
the need to apply an additional fireproofing coating. Other construction materials include wood
for the flooring and glass curtain walls. Steel, wood and glass are what constitute this building.
The floor of the second floor and rooftop are finished with wood to give a feeling of a ship’s deck.
The wood used here is a Brazilian wood called IPE, which has excellent strength and durability as
Figure 32 - TERRACE SPACES

well as a specific gravity greater than that of water. (Wooden panel thickness: 20mm for the
interior; n30mm for the general exterior area; 45mm for the vehicle passages).
The rooftop also has natural grass lawns. This way, the terminal is designed to serve as a working
pier as well as an enjoyable and relaxing park like public facility for Yokohama residents. Made
of strips of wood, this long, winding pier also has large sections of grass, making it an ideal place
to have a picnic.
ARCHITECTURAL EXPRESSION
At the observation deck, the material fabric of the floor rises and falls in wave-like oscillations to
create pathways and apertures into the vast, enclosed spaces below. These changes in elevation-
sometimes subtle, sometimes sharp-were the essence of the novel architectural language
invented for the project. Throughout the project, a deliberate dynamism pervades the tectonic
and material languages of the building. The abundance of non- orthogonal walls, floors, and
ceilings creates a controlled sense of vertigo that is accentuated by similarly off-kilter fixtures
and details. The effect is magnified by material cues, such as the shifting grains of the wooden
planks on the observation deck that indicate the locations of creases, and the minimalist grey
metal panelling that is revealingly worn by the structures under it.
While the contours of the building occasionally betray an element of randomness, they are in
fact generated by a single circulation scheme that dictates spatial organization. The circulation
operates as a continuous looped diagram, directly rejecting any notion of Linearity and
directionality. Visitors are taken through paths that meander vertically and horizontally before
arriving at any destination, and their sight lines through space are comparably tortuous and
indirect. For all of the chaotic complexity of the materials and formal gestures, the simplicity of
this diagram offers a sense of clarity and reveals the process from which the building emerged.
DISTRICT HEATING AND COOLING SYSTEM:
This is an energy efficient method and minimizes pollution and the possibility of accidents. The
central plant features a heat exchange and storage system that draws its power at night when
electricity is cheap. A second plant uses a large-scale, high efficiency turbo refrigeration unit to
save energy and reduce co2 emissions. As the area served expands, eco-friendlier, higher
efficiency heating equipment is installed.
SECTIONAL EVALUATION
As the structure takes shape, its
extraordinary form becomes
apparent both externally and
internally.
• The working sections and
earlier conceptual sections
indicate the innovative
geometry. These geometries
expose the abstract bands of
space that are used by the
architects, along with folds in
Figure 34 - SECTION THROUGH DEPARTURE AND ARRIVAL HALL
Figure 33 - SECTION THROUGH CUSTOM IMMEGRATION & QUARANTINE

the ground that are
translated into
enveloping structures,
in one big operating
platform working in
an active and
efficient system.
• For example, the piazza
situated at the center of the
project has not only the function ofchannelling the flow of travellers but also of
producing a field ofstresses likely to incite them to explore various directions.
WHY COLUMN FREESPACE?
A column-free structure was appropriate because it would provide fewer interruptions to
the flow ofpassengers constantly moving through the space.
It was also the most efficient way to organize the large parking floor on the pier level for
cars and buses. Moreover, since cruise ships would only moor atthe terminal daily, it was
important that the terminal offer citizens reasons to visit, apart fromjust travel, during the
low season. Designing the departure and arrivals halls without columns makes the space
more flexible because the large, uninterrupted halls can double up as a multi-purpose
event space. During times when no ships are moored at the terminal, the furniture can be
rolled away transforming the space into a large venue for a variety ofdifferent kinds of
events like markets, banquets, fashion shows and fairs. This gives the terminal ongoing life
and activity and ensures that it is connected with the lives ofcitizens in many different
ways.
AXON
• The design sought to encompass
the general functional
imperatives of the cruise
terminal (as a smoothly
functioning link between land
and water transport)
• The terminal is a shed building
measuring 412 meters in length
and composed of 27 steel
trusses averaging 42.5 meters in
span and placed at 16 meter
intervals.
• The trusses are joined
longitudinally by trussed
members of conventional
configuration, and purlins
carrying, either metal cladding
or glazing.
• The trusses are carried on
concrete piers extending from
the basement parking level
Figure 35 - SECTION THROUGH OPEN AIR AUDITORIUM
Figure 36 - STRUCTURE

through the apron to the surface of the main level.
• The large shed employs unified form through repetitive structural units to enclose a single
homogeneous space.
• The transformation yields a complex of spaces that smoothly incorporates the multiple
terminals, civic and garden programmes within and below its span.

7. MONUMENTAL SCALE- the building has a monumental scale to create a grandeur effect
on the visitor's mind.
8. Also the interiors ofthe terminal reflect advanced design methods and technologies--
folded plates & girders are used to achieve the output
9. The cruise terminal is provided with halls for holding various function ( private &
public). - Osanbashi hall - 2000 sq.m
CONS
1. MATERIAL- extensive use ofwood is seen in the terminal. Almost 75% ofthe interiors
& exteriors are catered with wood which adds to the monotony of the design.
2. LANDSCAPING- the terminal lacks landscaped pockets when compared with the number
ofvisitors.
3. The terrace floor of the terminal has more ofthe hard areas & lesser soft areas.

About the port:
The Port of San Francisco retained the services of Public Works to oversee the development
of the existing Pier 27 into a new primary cruise ship terminal and public plaza. The joint
venture of KMD Architects and Paul Long Architecture provided the architectural and
engineering services. the Port transformed the existing ten-acre Pier 27 site into
a vibrant year-round cruise terminal, public plaza and community facility that meets
security and passenger handling demands of the cruise industry, while also allowing for
public recreation and special event uses. The terminal is a 21st century new fresh face for the
cruise line visitor designed to stream line the embarking and debarking exercise and
enhance their visit to San Francisco. The terminal functions as the main point of entry for
ships during the cruise season but will be available for rent most of the year for special
events such as conventions, nonprofit fundraisers, private parties and community festivals
such as Fleet Week and International Arts Festival.

INFRENCES:
As a building type, the terminal must provide functionality for its users, but it also off ers great
opportunity for expression of form, contextual materials, precedence of history, aspects of light,
colour, volume and the potential to inform its site and environment. Transient buildings like this
terminal provide their own precedents and cues, consistent with their contexts. These buildings
can be useful example for this terminal and warrant study during the creation of the terminal
architecture.

SECTIONAL EVOLUTION
Figure 52 - SECTION

INFERENCE:
All six buildings which constitute this architectural development offer a diverse mixture of
business and leisure facilities for the end-users at the Shanghai International Cruise Terminal,
aiming at establishing Shanghai's status as an essential commerce and tourism center. The
interiors of these six buildings more or less follow the concept of the exterior landscaping
and architecture. They consist of elements which seem as sculpted holes which appear and
disappear, just like the exterior landscaping where by law 50 percent of the terminal is
required to be above ground level and the other 50 below. Vibrant colors , voids and various
textures, materials, patterns and lines constitute part of the interiors. Egg-like sculpted
forms create part of the voids in the buildings which have glass ceilings thus allowing abundant
of natural light into the buildings; another element of sustainable design rather than
using artificial lighting. The concoction of materials and colors creates the fun, loving diverse
environment which architects wanted to approach in their design in order to make this
architecture a reality according to the needs of their client. Shanghai, the Cruise Terminal
District combines creative innovation with low carbon technologies, to deliver a new and
vibrant destination in Shanghai.

THE TERMINAL SURROUNDING
The planned cruise terminal with necessary site formation works can berth two mega cruise ships
and accommodate the essential cruise operation and facilities on site without reclamation. At
the south-western tip of the runway abutting the end of the cruise terminal, an at-grade cross-
boundary heliport site is reserved to serve cross-boundary travellers in synergy with the customs
and excise, immigration and quarantine (CIQ) facilities provided for the cruises. Adjacent to the
cruise terminal will be the tourism node housing a great variety of retail and entertainment
facilities. A high-rise hotel is planned with public observation gallery at its top floor. It will form a
magnificent landmark at this part of the harbour, while commanding the gorgeous harbour view.
The tour ism node will also provide suitable pedestrian access to and landscaping measures to
blend in with the Runway Park. A runway park will be the dominant use at the end of the runway
with aviation and other themes.

DESIGN OF TERMINAL BUILDING
The terminal has a generous, rectangular footprint and is arranged over three main levels,
encased by a lattice of large white 'fins' that allow daylight to filter through to the passenger
waiting spaces. The design is highly flexible, incorporating spaces that are suitable for alternative
functions and enabling the building to be used all year round, fully utilizing 'down time'. The
sustainable design also combines a number of energy saving measures, as well as generating
power from renewable sources and making use of recycled rain water for cooling.
Services are integrated with the structure and the different levels are fused with the surrounding
pedestrian walkways. A pedestrian route starting from the waterfront promenade progresses up
through the building and opens onto a large public roof garden, with open and sheltered spaces
for informal picnics and outdoor dining, set against the stunning backdrop of the city.

INFERENCE:
• LOCATION- built on 213rd area of ex-kai tak airport with a strategic location and
has 4 visual corridors. Recreational accessibility promotes the use of the cruise
terminal even when there is no port of call. No reclaimed land
• ACCESS- The terminal has satisfactory hinterland connections - By rail, By road, By
air & pedestrians.
• APPROACH CHANNEL- There is an existing odor problem from poor water and
sediment qualities at embayed water bodies. Although, bio-remediation method
is being used to overcome the problem.
• SITE ENTRY- 3 no. of entry & exit gates are provided but no boundary wall is
provided. The project is focused on attracting as many people as possible.
Although, the site is well secured throughout the day by the security guards and
CCTV's.
• PARKING- The park ing is only for licensed and authorized vehicles- shuttle bus
service, taxi's etc. Private vehicles are not allowed to park their cars. This is also
done to make sure that people visiting the kai tak development use the pedestrian
pathways more than the private vehicles and if not, then they should use the
public transportation- because of the concern of rising air pollutants in Hong
Kong.
• ORIENTATION- The building is facing NS direction. To avoid the South sun entering
the departure halls and various other areas of the terminal, the facade is treated
with curved walls to avoid the South sun in summers.

INFERENCE:
The luxury and comfort associated with cruise vessels translates into a demand for superior
infrastructure and facilities even at the ports-of-call of the cruise vessel. A high
average spending by cruise tourists has given the sector a high preference in most
economies that have a seacoast to offer. The Mumbai international cruise terminal provides
the maximum facilities in India as compared to other terminals. Still it lacks in its
infrastructure facilities provided. The planning and zoning of the terminal building is a very
simply flow thus making it tourist friendly. The spaces are well planned and are also user
friendly. Thus these qualities make the Mumbai cruise terminal the best in India.
The terminal building is only used when the vessel arrives. There are no activities carried
otherwise. Thus it is not maintained from time to time.

4.6 - COCHIN INTERNATIONAL CRUISE TERMINAL
ABOUT THE SITE
• Cochin Port, one of the 12 Major Ports in India, is located on the south west coast of the
Indian sub-continent, in the beautiful State of Kerala, at latitude 76 16'N and 9'58'£
longitude.
• The Port is located on the artificially created Willington Island, in the vast expense of the
Vembanad backwaters, which discharges into the Arabian Sea through an opening in the
shore known as the 'Cochin gut’.
EXISTING PORT FACILITIES:
The marine facilities of the Port are located in the
Willington Island, which divides the Port's inner
navigational channels into two - namely the
Mattancherry and Ernakulum channels. The
onshore facilities are mainly located on the
Willington Island. The existing facilities include:
1. PASSENGER MOVEMENT
Passenger movement between the Cochin
Cruise Terminal Building and the vessel is
accomplished at an upper level via
elevated passenger gallery.
This gallery is located at an elevation of 12
meters above normal low water or 9
meters above the wharf The gallery is
extended by 200 m along the length of the
wharf and has doors positioned at every
l0 meters.
Between the gallery and the ship, a
MOVEABLE GANGW A Y is provided to
adjust for door position and height.
For the vessels, door elevations range from 3m to I5m above the water line. However, most of
the design vessels have higher elevation doors. In order to accommodate a normal door height,
range of 7.5m-15m, a modern passenger bridge is provided.
2. PASSENGER LOUNGE
A passenger waiting area is provided at
the Cruise Terminal upper level that
includes provision for security check,
circulation and service counter.
This lounge doesn't require to hold
entire passenger load, such as is
encountered at an airport, but it has
comfortable waiting capacity for about
20% of the largest design home port
vessel. Passenger seating, standing and
circulation areas are approximately 4.5
sq. m per passenger creating sufficient space with significant surge capacity. The passenger
Figure 71 - PASSENGER MOVEMENT
Figure 72 - PASSENGER LOUNGE

waiting area is 2000 sq. m (approx.).
Within the passenger lounge, there is a small counter area that serves multiple purposes. For
arriving port of call vessels, it is attended by an information agent for directing disembarking
passengers. For embarking home port operations, it is attended by a pre-boarding agent that
sees to the comfort of the waiting passengers and provides soft drinks or light refreshments.
Counter space and storage is given of 25 sq. m. in addition, a VIP lounge and miscellaneous
storage and security offices are given of about 452.3 sq. m of space.
Although the security screening for cruise passengers is not as rigorous as that for airline
passengers, metal detector screening of individuals and X-ray examination of hand luggage is
done.
The security check is capable of passing an entire home ported vessel in 3 hours or approximately
700 passengers per hour. With current screening procedures, a single portal can check about
250 passengers per hour. Therefore, 3 security portals are sufficient but Cochin Cruise Terminal
provides for 6 portals to accommodate peaking and periods of high security enforcement.
3. PASSENGER ARRIVAL, BAGGAGE CHECK AND DOCUMENTATION
Embarking passengers arrive, curb-side,
at the cruise terminal by bus or licensed
taxi service. Only authorized vehicles are
allowed in front of the terminal and
passengers arriving by private auto are
required to drop off luggage first and
then park the vehicle before checking in.
Four covered bus lanes (3.5 m wide) with
a total of 2 bus park ng spaces are
provided for airport and rail station
shuttle service. In the case of port of call
vessel, the two of the four lanes are used
to provide 6 tour bus parking spaces. Taxi's and private vehicles load and discharge passengers
along the outer edge of the bus loading zone.
The baggage claim tags are pre-marked with the passenger 's names and cabin number as well
as the bar code that corresponds to their reservation.
Arriving passengers already have affixed their own baggage claim to their bags. Therefore, all
that is needed is to present the tagged baggage to the outside attendant prior to entering the
terminal. Any necessary security inspections are conducted within the customs-bonded baggage
area of the terminal.
When the passenger checks in, his reservation is verified and his travel documentation is
confirmed . For security, a digital picture is taken and the passenger is given a card similar to a
credit card that includes the picture and a magnetic information strip. This card is his
authorization to board and leave the ship and it helps the vessel management to track passenger
locations and to confirm that all passengers have boarded prior to sailing. Total processing time
per passenger is from 2-3 minutes.
For the design vessel, 30 passenger check-in clerks can process all 2000 passengers in
approximately 3 hours. 6-8 "trouble" desks are provided for passengers with missing
documentation, excess baggage and other problems.
After check-in, passengers proceed to the departure lounge for security check and immigration
exit stamp. The lounge is designed to comfortably accommodate 400-500 people, or about 20°/o
of the passenger capacity of the design vessel. At maxim um occupancy, it has a capacity of 1000
Figure 73 - PASSENGER ARRIVAL, BAGGAGE CHECK AND
DOCUMENTATION

people, or approximately 50% of the design vessel.
4. PASSENGER DISEMBARK.ATION, BAGGAGE CLAIM AND EXIT
After the vessel arrives, baggage is collected
from the passengers and transferred to the
wharf level, customs-bonded baggage claim
area. The floor of the baggage claim area is
painted with numbered and lettered rows
and aisles. Baggage coming from the ship is
'spotted' at a pre-determined row and aisle
location.
The passenger lounge becomes a final
passport and immigration area. 16 passport
counters are provided for documentation of
the passengers.
Approximately 1.5-2 sq. m per cabin is
necessary for baggage inspection and claim.
Therefore, the cruise terminal has 1820 sq. m
of claim area, which is sufficient for the home
port vessel of I 000 cabins.

CLAIM AND EXIT

6. OFFICE MEZZANINE
Between the pier levels passenger check in area and the upper passenger lounge and boarding
area, there is a mezzanine office for terminal administration, security and cruise l ine operations.
This office has approximately I067.5 sq. m of occupied space plus another 353 sq. m for
machinery, electrical panes and storage. Access to the mezzanine offices is by the stairway or
elevator only and is restricted by security card readers.
7. PASSENGER ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE- TRANSPORTATION
For security reasons, only licensed vehicles are allowed in the passenger loading area. Private
vehicles with ticketed passengers are allowed to the entrance for dropping off the baggage only.
No other private vehicles and no un-ticketed individuals are allowed in the passenger loading
area. For home port transfer to the airport, the loading area is designed to accommodate at least
12 buses in 4 lanes.
8. INFRASTRUC TURE FOR IMMIGRATION WING
Sufficient space for counters, office equipment’s and good infrastructure for the Immigration
wing at the terminal building is observed.
The arrival and departure side has l 0 immigration counters each and all counters are connected
with the lease line of Bureau of Immigration / Nedumbassery airport for the security verification.
Provision of 20 no.'s of U.V. lamps, lenses and other advance equipment’s at the counters for
effective verification of travel documents. 20 no.'s of passport reading machines are also installed
at the counters. An office for the PRO and staff, measuring not less than 300 sq. m, visitor 's room
with sufficient seating and facilities are also provided.
9. TERMIN AL SECURITY
Security for the cruise terminal is provided according to the International ship and port security
(ISPS) code as adopted by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and according to cruise
terminal security guidelines developed and implemented by the cruise lines themselves.
Passenger security is defined by cruise line requirements, but involves restricting access to the
boarding areas and vessel to ticketed passengers only and requiring some inspection of
passenger carry-on baggage. Passenger screening at a cruise terminal is not as rigorous as at an
air terminal because the risk level is lower. However, under high security alerts, additional
screening can be done. Only credentialed dock workers and authorized service providers are
allowed on the wharf itself In the case of direct boarding of passengers from the wharf, a roped
walkway is designated . The passenger loading area is restricted to ticketed passengers and
licensed public carriers only. Casual visitors and general vehicle access are not allowed in this
area. Vehicle traffic is controlled by the gate booth at the entrance to Milne road .
10. TERMIN AL EMER GENCY RESPONSE
Norma l passenger notification and public address is on the flat screen monitors placed within
the check-in area and at the boarding lounge level. These monitors are supplemented by an
audio annunciation system for special announcements and emergency notifications.
Fire emergencies and other evacuation alerts are accompanied by flashing strobes to assist the
hearing impaired . The passenger loading area also provides fast and efficient access for
emergency response vehicles including fire equipment, ambulances and police cars. In case of
emergency, rapid evacuation of the terminal is possible along the entire front and rear of the
building. Vehicle access to the wharf allows medical personnel direct access to the ship in the
event of an on-board medical emergency.
