Port terminal operations cost contribution to the supply chain Tristan Wiggill
Transnet Port Terminals' contribution to supply chain costs is relatively low. The World Bank report found that Transnet's port charges and terminal handling fees combined make up only 15.6% of the total cost of exporting a container from Johannesburg to Rotterdam. Inland transportation and handling costs are much higher, accounting for 60% of total supply chain costs. Compared to other countries, South Africa's port charges are around 12% lower than the global average. While it is expensive to trade from South Africa due to its distance from major markets, Transnet's fees are competitive internationally and not a primary contributor to high supply chain costs from South Africa.

Career: When the Boat comes in ... 2015Jacob Lyngsøe
Ever held that special type of job where you struggle to explain to others what it was that you did? Either because the industry is so far out of the public view that the average person does not know what it entails or because your particular position was so far behind the scenes, that people have to be reminded that someone is back there, pulling the strings?? Here is my attempt at getting around that for my job as a key account manager in the cruise department of a destination management agency in Copenhagen. Produced 2015
Cruise ships provide a leisure vacation experience where guests can sail between destinations without precise plans while the ship's staff handles all aspects of the trip. Cruises involve traveling by ship, either solely for pleasure or combining passenger transport with some cargo delivery, allowing visitors to experience different places from the water.

This document discusses cruise tourism in Valencia, Spain. It provides statistics showing that cruise arrivals and passenger numbers in Valencia have increased significantly in recent years. The port of Valencia now receives over 200 cruise ship stopovers and 500,000 passengers annually. A SWOT analysis identifies Valencia's strengths in culture, attractions, and established tourism industry, but also weaknesses in seasonality and needed infrastructure improvements. The document concludes that Valencia is well-positioned for cruise tourism but must continue improving services, transportation links, and policies to fully capitalize on its potential in this industry.

It begins by explaining that many cargo ships rely entirely on shoreside equipment to load and unload cargo, though some ships have self-loading capabilities. It then defines cargo ships and notes they transport goods between ports worldwide. The document goes on to describe key aspects of port operations in the US, including both public and private terminals that employ longshoremen to load and unload different types of ships. It also provides details on the main features and functions of ports, such as facilitating ship movements, cargo loading and storage, and various value-added logistics services. Finally, it outlines different types of ports and discusses port management goals and structures.
Pomorskie Region in northern Poland has a strong blue economy focused around its coastal cities of Gdansk, Gdynia, and Sopot. The region attracts investment through its ports and shipbuilding industry, with major companies producing offshore and maritime vessels. Pomorskie has identified offshore technologies, ports and logistics as a key area for further developing its blue economy through research and innovation in areas like offshore energy, marine monitoring, and marine biotechnology.
The document discusses changes in the transport industry and how the STC Group has adapted to survive. It has invested heavily in training and developing its human resources or "knowledge infrastructure". It provides training and education services globally to industries like shipping, ports, and logistics. Modern developments like larger ships and more sophisticated port facilities require specialized training to ensure the safe and efficient flow of information between all parties.
Ports are strategic locations situated at the edge of oceans, seas, rivers or lakes that facilitate the loading and unloading of cargo from ships. They have evolved from simple transit hubs to integrated logistics hubs providing end-to-end supply chain services. The major ports in Ecuador are Bolivar Port, Manta Port and Guayaquil Port which handle containers, bulk and breakbulk cargo through concessions to private operators.
Klaipeda, Lithuania's only port city, has seen remarkable growth in cruise passengers between 2003 and 2007. As the port leader in the Baltic Sea, Klaipeda benefits from its convenient location, certified management standards, and ice-free waters. However, the old town and terminal need further development and infrastructure to meet accessibility and service standards. Ongoing projects aim to expand sights and reduce port charges to attract more passengers and vessels.
This document discusses marinas and their importance for nautical tourism and tourism development. It begins by introducing nautical tourism and its three core industries: marinas, charter, and cruise. It then focuses on marinas, defining them as docks providing secure moorings for pleasure boats. Marinas offer various facilities and services and are classified into four types based on their layout.

Cruise ships offer significant economic benefits to Jamaica through foreign exchange, employment, and taxes. In 2013, cruise ships brought in $101 million in foreign exchange and provided 3865 jobs in Jamaica. The ports of Falmouth, Ocho Rios, and Montego Bay are the major ports of call, with Falmouth seeing the most passengers since it is the exclusive port for Royal Caribbean ships. However, Jamaica remains only moderately dependent on cruise ship tourism compared to other Caribbean nations like St. Kitts and Nevis. While volatile, strategies like increasing duty-free shopping and unique attractions have helped some countries capture more tourist spending.
This document discusses ports and their components. It defines a port as a maritime facility where ships can dock to load and discharge cargo and passengers. The key requirements for an ideal port are sufficient water depth, secure anchorage, protection from waves, and entrance width. Ports have departments that handle safety, mooring, cargo handling, storage, and information flow. The major types of ports are inland ports, fishing ports, dry ports, warm water ports, and seaports. Ports consist of major structural components like docks, loading/unloading equipment, and connections to land transportation.
The document summarizes plans to establish a free zone in Nouadhibou Bay, Mauritania. The free zone aims to (1) attract investment and promote private sector growth, (2) develop regional infrastructure, and (3) transform Nouadhibou into a competitive regional hub. Nouadhibou Bay offers strategic geographical advantages as a natural harbor between Africa and Europe with access to major shipping routes. The free zone framework provides tax and customs incentives for businesses in sectors like fishing, mining, tourism, and infrastructure. Authorities have progressed in defining the development concept and enacting relevant laws to realize the economic potential of Nouadhibou Bay.
The unique and a high-profitable part of the project consists of a complex surface and floating structures (ports), which can be operated as:
aqua disco-clubs;
casinos, floating stage, a movie theater;
underwater restaurant;
bars, cafes, bistros, and any other possible variants of public catering;
Floating, beech spa-resort, water park and dolphinarium
Hotel and entertainment complex on the water with a yacht club.
With the ability to provide such services as:
rental (scooters, boats, water bikes, etc);
adobe in the hotel on the water;
food and entertainment for every taste;
full beach service in pure water at 130 m from the shore.
The tertiary sector includes economic activities that provide services rather than produce material goods, such as commerce, transportation, and leisure activities like tourism. Until the 20th century, tourism was limited to the wealthy, but it is now a major industry in developed countries. The tertiary sector accounts for a large share of GDP and employment in developed nations, where access to services is widespread, while in developing countries services are less developed and important.

Consumer Behaviour of Maritime Cruise Tourists in portugalFlatio
- The document analyzes the consumer behavior of Portuguese maritime cruise tourists.
- It finds that Portuguese cruise tourists typically book cruises 3+ months in advance through offline travel agencies, costing 500-1000 euros. They usually travel with a partner or friends for 7-15 day Mediterranean cruises departing from Lisbon.
- Cruise tourists are highly satisfied with their experiences and intend to take more cruises in the future, being motivated by visiting multiple destinations in one trip and experiencing new cultures.
Finland has a cruise tourism industry centered around the Baltic Sea. The Baltic Sea has characteristics more similar to large lakes than oceans, with little tides, seasonal freezing, and lower salt content. The largest cruise ports in Finland are Helsinki, Mariehamn, and Turku. The cruise industry in the Baltic Sea faces strengths like tax-free sales but also weaknesses such as low capacity and vulnerability to winter weather and financial crises. Opportunities for growth include improving winter tourism, attracting more Russian tourists, and adopting new technologies, ships, and environmental regulations.
Portugal has a strong maritime tradition due to its location on the Iberian Peninsula surrounded by sea. It has over 900km of coastline and many ports. River cruises along the Douro River have become popular, taking advantage of the river's navigability and the beautiful Douro Region known for port wine. Douro Azul is the main company operating cruises along the Douro, with over 230 employees and earning most of its turnover from international markets like the US, Germany, and UK. While cruise tourism in Portugal has grown, improvements are still needed to hosting infrastructure and regulations to better develop this sector.
Turkey has strengths in its geographic location near Europe, growing cruise tourism market, Mediterranean climate and attractions. However, it lacks cruise ships and ports, underutilizes seasons, and has high port fees. Opportunities exist in serving as a departure/arrival point and cultural/historical tourism. Threats include negative press, EU policies, and inadequate promotion and incentives for cruise tourism. Overall, Turkey is well positioned for cruise tourism but needs to address weaknesses like ship and port infrastructure to better capitalize.
This document summarizes the SWOT analysis and marketing mix of Hungarian cruise tourism. Some key strengths included the domestic rivers and waterways that provide opportunities for water-based tourism. Weaknesses included decreased small ship traffic since construction of locks and lack of adequate language skills. Opportunities included language and technical training and improving dock accessibility. Threats included pollution, overcrowding in smaller settlements, and environmental problems. The marketing mix for international Danube cruises could be improved by creating new product lines like gastronomy, adjusting pricing to attract more than just wealthy tourists, improving online promotion and translations, and expanding routes between major cities.
The document analyzes the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) for national cruise tourism development in the Czech Republic. The strengths include a good labor force, popularity of boat trips, and qualitative low-cost services. Weaknesses are a lack of beaches or sea, weak infrastructure, and low demand. Opportunities include utilizing EU funds, increasing cruise tourism demand, and promoting the Czech Republic as a destination. Threats involve legal changes limiting boats, river pollution, and competition from other destinations.
Belgium has strengths for cruise tourism such as its multilingual population, cuisine, ports, and location in the European Union. However, it also faces weaknesses like a lack of Belgian cruise operators and ship size limitations. Opportunities include combination cruises and city trips as well as ties to events and history. Threats include weather, environmental impact, and competition from other ports. The ports of Antwerp and Zeebrugge were described in detail including vessel access, facilities, and connections to surrounding cities.

“Welcome to Turku - a small and attractive cruise
destination
Cruise tourism continues to be the fastest growing business in the global tourist
industry. Cruise lines are constantly seeking new destinations with something special
to offer and this is exactly what Turku has. Although fairly new on the Baltic cruise map
Turku is an old city - the oldest in Finland (783 years in 2012) and the first capital until
1812. Situated on the south-western coast and surrounded by a beautiful archipelago
with some 20,000 islands and islets it is a hidden gem to be discovered.
In 2011 Turku had seven cruise calls making three records. A record number of cruise
passengers - 5456 in total; a record long season when Boudicca called in early October
and a record large cruise vessel in Turku when Artania (231 metres) called in August and
September. The assets of Turku as a cruise destination are the unique archipelago,
clean nature, safety, access almost to the city centre by cruise ships, combination of old
and new, and a wide variety of shore excursions and activities.
Turku Cruise Port is a member of Cruise Europe and a founder member of
the successful Cruise Baltic.”

Cruise Industry
• A ”cruise” is a sea voyage taken for pleasure
• Cruise industry is dominated by three
companies
• Carnival
• Royal Caribbean
• Norwegian Cruise Line
”I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied” (John Masefield)

Cruise Industry
• 85 % of the world’s cruise-line passengers
come from North America, the UK, Germany,
France, Italy and Spain
• International in scope
• in 2013 about 21 million people will cruise; 67
% of those come from North America
• ”The outlook for 2013 would suggest that the
market is just about to turn; 2011 and 2012
were difficult years, but there is
some evidence now that the market is
slowly turning,” summarizes Peter Wild,

What makes a good port of call?
Ports of call, or destinations offer a mix of elements
Cruise ships are businesses that rely on customer satisfaction
Passenger feedback suggests that ports should be interesting,
culturally simulating, safe and nonthreatening, friendly,
accessible and user friendly
Ports of call derive considerable income from cruise ships and
popular destinations sell themselves aggressively in order to
attract cruise tourism
Marketers use a variety of marketing communications (trade
magazines, direct selling) and forums (trade shows and
conferences) to sell the benefits of destination ports
