  4. MedCruise Main objectives Collaborate on solutions: Policies Operational issues Port Finances Environment Training Promote the cruise destinations and the ports in the Mediterranean and adjoining seas. Develop quality passenger shipping experiences: Preserve diversity and authenticity. Manage congestion. Shared return: local communities, ships, passengers.

  8. Europe 2020 A smart, sustainable and inclusive economy, in a changing world. Five objectives: employment, innovation, education, social inclusion climate/energy
  9. Cruise, Employment & Social inclusion Cruise industry has enjoyed economic prosperity During the recent challenging past succeeded to: attractnew passengers, promote new destinations contribute to the economic recovery of many coastal regions.
  10. Cruise, Employment & Social inclusion Cruise activities Passenger Spending a very good environmental record; sophisticated, state-of-the-art ships that are safe and secure; equipped with competent crews. €3.1 billion in passenger and crew spending or about €70* per passenger on embarkation ports € 61 in each transit port. € 16 per crew member on average spent at each port. *Excluding airfare.

  21. Bringing more ports in the game Beyond the world-famous marquee ports Absolutely necessary for every itinerary attract passengers and sell the cruise itinerary. Bring in discovery ports The concept: one that is not world-famous, but provides a different sense to the cruise passenger
  22. V. Take advantage of potential new Markets Drive-to Train-to Homeports France- Marseille, Toulon Italy-Savona, Genoa, Civita, Napoli, Catania, Venice, Bari Spain-Barcelona, Valencia, Malaga, Mallorca Scandanavia- Copenhagen, Oslo, Stockholm UK- Southampton Germany - Kiel, Hamburg, Copenhagen,
  23. … need to address the impact Environmental impact generated by cars and road transport Development planning of tourist destinations Preserve natural resources and offer environmental quality. Overall: balance maritime and tourism dimensions of cruise activities.
  24. Med ports Work to sustain the effective and efficient way that have served the market Capacity Berth allocation –MedCruise guidelines Pricing Ground transportation and access Passenger and luggage (terminal) Addressing users requirement and in parallel several considerations Regulations – ISPS Code People – background and training Equipment – modern, efficient and used correctly Processes, plans, procedures
  25. MedCruise Policy Matters of importance to MedCruise: Emissions. Global – Climate Change. CO2. Local – Health issues SOx, NOx,. Shore-side Electricity Sulphur Directive Waste management Packaging Define a plan for the recovery or re-use of 30% Bio-wasteAct a plan for the re-use of 90% PaperDefine a plan for the recovery or re-use of 40%
  26. MedCruise Increasing waste management efficiency MEASURE of the ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: CO2 emissionseq (i.e. Greenhouse Gas emissions) Equivalent to: Using a car for 1 year for 1,000 passengers CO2 absorbed by 1,000 trees Emissions from a small industrial plant

  29. MedCruise Euro-Mediterranean network of portsfor the cooperation in the management of waste To maximise the opportunity of wasterecovery To improveenergyefficiency To quantify the reduction of CO2emissionsderiving from sustainablemanagement. To define a new type of voluntarycertificationregarding the treatment of waste European Directive on waste (Reduction, Re-use, Recycling) and Marpol Annex V.
  30. The issue: Emmissions GHGemissions from shipping 4% of the EU GHG emissions. expected to increase significantly in the future. the only transport mode not included in the EU GHG emissions reduction commitment(yet?) CO2emissions from maritime transport related to intra-EU routes +48% between 1990 and 2008. +51% by 2050 - despite the adoption of minimum ship efficiency standards for new ships by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) in 2012.
  31. The issue: emissions Welcome the intention to create a European system of monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from large ships as from 2018. a prerequisite for setting both emission reduction targets and for any market-based measure or efficiency standard But don’t create modal disadvantages i.e. like those created due to customs and formalities when use short-sea shipping Blue Belt strategy needs to be a reality by 2015 if Europe 2020 strategy is going to succeed.
