Garcia, Celso, Christian Mestre-Runge, Enrique Morán-Tejeda, Jorge Lorenzo-Lacruz et Dolores Tirado. « Impact of Cruise Activity on Freshwater Use in the Port of Palma (Mallorca, Spain) ». Water 12, no 4 (11 avril 2020) : 1088. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/w12041088.
Résumé :
Lack of knowledge about freshwater use in ports of tourist destinations hinders accurate assessment of water availability and water planning. In this study, freshwater use in the Port of Palma (Spain) is analyzed by sector (commercial, mixed, navy and recreational) for the period 2007–2018. This study shows the dynamics of consumption and evaluates the effects of increased cruise tourism from 2007 to 2018 in the port. Water data supplied by the Port Authority of the Balearic Islands for each sector, together with water volumes recharged by ships, allow a detailed analysis of the water used by merchants and cruise lines. Results reveal a significant increase in freshwater withdrawals by cruise ships in the Port of Palma in the last ten years, closely related to the boom of cruise activity. Water use and recharge by cruise ships increased in both the high and low tourist seasons. Homeport cruises have a significant effect on the increase of freshwater withdrawals, as each homeport cruise ship recharged a mean volume of 628 m3 per mooring. This paper proposes a water withdrawal indicator of liters loaded per passenger at the port. Given the current lack of restriction on the number of cruise ships per day docking in the Port of Palma, cruise activity may well become a threat to water availability during drought episodes and another environmental cost to add to the already questioned cruise tourism activity of the island.

Résumé :
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has created widespread disruption in individuals’ personal and occupational lives all around the world. Vacationers and tourism, recreation, and leisure employees were among those who experienced substantial disruption. Cruise ships, especially, faced turmoil on a global scale for both their customers and workers. COVID-19 outbreaks were reported on cruise ships beginning in February 2020, presenting new and unique challenges for the industry. Conditions on cruise ships, including close and frequent contact between passengers and crew members, use of common areas, the confined nature of the vessels, and gathering of passengers from different countries, aided in transmitting the disease both onboard and in the community. As the pandemic evolved, federal and state governments and industries worldwide, including cruise ship companies, developed response plans. In this article, we provide a high-level overview of the US government and cruise ship industry’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as a brief commentary on lessons learned, and recommendations for the cruise ship sector going forward. The outlined suggestions may be used as a starting point to increase emergency preparedness and to inform outbreak response plans in the event of future infectious disease outbreaks.

Résumé :
The cruise industry is a part of the ‘post-tourism’ sector that, in contrast to cultural tourism, does not seek to represent culture for consumption by the tourist, but fabricates it, creating a hyperreal tourist experience. The music is a core aspect of the cruise experience. This paper investigates the music performed on a 2009 cruise of the MV Carnival Paradise and considers how touristic meaning (as opposed to inherent meaning) is infused in the music. It finds that the music of cruise ships is used to construct a cultural cocoon which mediates and protects guests from interaction with the cultures through which they travel. It turns attention inwards, constructing the fabricated geography and culture of the ship as the destination. In so doing, it encourages consumption on the ship itself and thereby contributes to the overall profitability of the ship.

Mouchtouri. « Re-Starting the Cruise Sector during the COVID-19 Pandemic in Greece : Assessing Effectiveness of Port Contingency Planning ». International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health 19, no 20 (14 octobre 2022) : 13262. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/ijerph192013262.
Résumé :
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreaks on board cruise ships early in the pandemic highlighted gaps worldwide in public health emergency contingency plans (PHECPs) for responding to unknown threats. To restart cruise operations in 2021 and respond to potential COVID-19 outbreaks, a major tourist-based Greek island port (Port A) developed a COVID-19 PHECP. We assessed plan effectiveness by reviewing epidemiological data and monitoring outcomes, followed by an intra-action review (IAR) analyzing three event responses. From May to December 2021, 118 calls from 23 cruise ships with 119,930 passengers were recorded, with 29 COVID-19 cases in 11 cruises on board 7 ships. No outbreak was recorded during the study period. Strengths of the introduced PHECP included commitment of senior management; a core multi-disciplinary team of local authorities/ship agents involved in design and execution; interoperability agreements for port and ships’ PHECPs; cruise industry commitment to compliance; and pre-existing scenarios considering capacity needs. Central government coordination for preparedness planning at local ports is essential for successful responses. Monitoring local and country level response capacities is critical to inform planning, risk assessment, and decision-making. Immediately recording ports’ response actions provides the basis to capture lessons and improve contingency plans. To facilitate communication and common response protocols between European and non-European ports, IARs should be conducted between countries.

Résumé :
In many Member States, European regions and cities, tourism is a key factor in the economic and social structure. The COVID-19 pandemic that broke out in 2020 caused significant losses in the tourism sector area in all European Union (EU) countries. This applies in particular to one of the elements of the tourism sector of any economy with access to the sea - the possibility of accepting cruise ships. This cruise tourism sector has also been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The aim of this paper is to estimate the number of selected expenditures of passengers and cruise ship crews entering the ports of Gdańsk and Gdynia, which are a source of revenue for the region, as well as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on limiting the growth of this tourism segment. Our study takes a holistic approach by estimating the amount of revenue generated by tourists arriving in the two ports in the Gulf of Gdańsk capable of handling large cruise ships. Based on the number of arriving tourists in 2017-2020, the study estimates the income of tourism enterprises that receive a direct cash inflow from offering services to arriving tourists.
The tourism sector that was particularly affected by the pandemic was cruise tourism. In 2020, this sector recorded an over 5-fold decrease in the number of cruise ship passengers. The conclusions of the study show that the number of cruise ships arriving in the analysed ports in 2020 decreased significantly compared to the previous year, similarly to other ports in the region. At the same time, the number of passengers visiting the analysed ports decreased substantially. Nevertheless, the dynamic growth of cruise tourism in the Baltic Sea basin, which began before the COVID-19 pandemic, allows for conclusions about further development of this tourism segment and its potential impact on the region’s economy after the crisis which occurred in 2020.

Résumé :
The paper investigates how globalization processes have reshaped the de-territorialisation of capital, labor and the tourist destination. The fact that cruises as a form of tourism supply are not tied to just one destination has contributed to a more rapid development of globalization processes in the cruise industry. The growth in demand and the economy of scale have caused the appearance of gigantism. Ships have become floating hotels or destinations similar to on-land resorts, and the ports visited have become part of the program offered onboard. Today, ships that carry few thousand people including passengers and crew, and offer a multitude of facilities, can be viewed as a global microcosms, considering that the passengers and crew come from various countries around the world. The multinational atmosphere onboard is frequently marketed as part of the cruise experience. This is further strengthened by the fact that a ship does not usually sail under the flag of its country of domicile, but rather under a flag of convenience that allows the company to lower considerably their running costs and access to global laborforce markets. Today, cruising is worldwide, demands show high growth rate, new markets are emerging, new cruise regions are developing, and the profile of cruise passengers is changing. Multinational companies cover almost all cruise regions, and the sector is dominated by three corporations that control more than 75% of the market.

Résumé :
Purpose The purpose of the study was to examine the relative importance of corporate social and environmental responsibility (CSER) in comparison to standard, price, duration, destination, brand and disruption using choice-based conjoint analysis (CBC). Design/methodology/approach CBC was used as the data collection survey technique, and counts analysis for preference and hierarchical Bayes estimation (HB) for importance levels data analysis methods, from Sawtooth Software Inc. Findings Results show that 2:1 Royal Caribbean Cruise Line cruise consumers prefer companies with CSER policies and practices. However, their actual product choice selection of cruise package attributes revealed that consumers overall placed less importance on CSER when choosing cruises. Experienced consumers were more brand image-conscious than those new to cruising, and consumers who were less price-sensitive were most willing to choose companies with CSER policies and practices. Research limitations/implications The information provided is specifically on “what” cruise consumer preferences and importance attributes are but does not explicitly explain “why” the respondents made the choices they did. This was at the time a limitation of the software used to conduct the study. Practical implications The Conjoint Analysis CBC Sawtooth Software pre-2014 version choice simulators do not facilitate questions that provide answers as to “why” respondents make the choices they do in the market simulations. Social implications The knowledge contribution is of value to both academia and industry, as the quantitative statistical data on the cruise consumers’ choice preferences are of value in understanding and identifying solutions/approaches towards “opening the bottleneck” that exists between private sector sustainable development practices and consumer lifestyle changes. Originality/value This was the first time that CBC/HB was applied within academia to examine the cruise consumers’ choice preferences in a UK context and also the first time that CSER was applied as a direct variable in a cruise package to determine the preference and important values of a brand in a consumer behaviour decision-making context.

Oka, I. Made Darma. « THE MULTIPLIER EFFECT OF BALINESE LABOR WORKING ON CRUISE SHIP ». Journal of Business on Hospitality and Tourism 2, no 1 (6 janvier 2017) : 107. http://dx.doi.org/10.22334/jbhost.v2i1.46.
Résumé :
As one of the most popular destinations for international tourists, Bali has attracted a sizeable and growing labor force in the tourism sector of the economy. This fact has triggered Balinese labor force to participate in such a service industry. As a supplier of tourism labor force Bali has been increasingly successful in promoting the number of workers to be employed in cruise tourism industry. The participation rate of Balinese labor in cruise tourism industry over the last years has dramatically increased. The growth of Balinese labor who works on cruise ships in the past four years reached more than 18 percent. It is happening because they have been prepared themselves in accordance to the competencies and qualifications needed in cruise tourism industry. The Balinese labor’s participation in cruise tourism industry employment has brought major implications for their life and culture. The present study aimed to analyze the multiplier effect of Balinese labor works in cruise tourism industry overview from economic and socio-cultural perspective. The research subjects were Balinese labor who used to or were still working in the cruise tourism industry. This research used qualitative data. The collected data started from one Balinese labor having experience in the cruise tourism industry and then spread to the other workers. To answer the research questions, data collection was conducted through observation and deep interviews. The data were analyzed by qualitative analysis. In analyzing the data of economic and socio-cultural perspective of Balinese labor who work in the cruise tourism industry in the environment of life, it was done through the processing and interpretation of the data which is a series of periodic review, grouping, systematization, interpretation and reification of data so that a phenomenon has social academic and scientific value. The data analysis was conducted to find the hidden reasons behind the actions of the perpetrators of social action or geared towards social significance of social phenomena. The focus is to find what kind of mindset that glows behind a social phenomenon or to find the rationality that lies behind the social phenomena. The multiplier effect of Balinese labor working in cruise tourism industry was overviewed from economic and socio-cultural perspectives. The economic perspective likes: Balinese labor working on cruise ship able to improve the family economy, and employment for the community directly or indirectly in the cruise tourism industry. The socio-cultural perspective likes: by working on cruise ships able to motivate the other Balinese labor to works on cruise ships, with working on cruise ships can open the horizons and the way of thinking society, increase the personal discipline, make clean and healthy in their live, and then improve the science and technology in tourism especially at cruises, able to strengthen the unity of nation, anticipation for disintegration, and growth the awareness to conserve the cultural after seeing the variety of cultures in the word. Based on the conclusions above, the following suggestion can be made: the government should pay attention to the existence of Balinese labor, who work in cruise ships, to the protection of their rights as well as the relevant acts should be made clear, knowing that they serve as ambassadors of the nation that generate income for the country; and the government should provide support to Balinese laborers in accordance with their potential

Résumé :
Cruise tourism is the fastest-growing branch of the tourism sector, and many have turned to it as a development strategy despite little systematic evidence of its equilibrium effects. I match 10.6 million automatic identification system (AIS) locations from 517 cruise ships arriving in 265 port destinations to 355,463 Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) women’s surveys in 23 countries to estimate cruise tourism’s relationship with women’s labor market participation and educational attainment. Using fixed effects to identify changes in tourism over time, I estimate that doubling cruise ship arrivals is associated with a 4.9-percentage point increase in labor participation and one-quarter more years of education. These results would be consistent with port cities offering more job opportunities for older women and increased opportunity and available income for education, possibly in anticipation of improved employment prospects.

Résumé :
Abstract. Growing ship traffic in Atlantic Canada strengthens the local economy but also plays an important role in greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions in this coastal environment. A mobile open-path Fourier transform infrared (OP-FTIR; acronyms defined in Appendix A) spectrometer was set up in Halifax Harbour (Nova Scotia, Canada), an intermediate harbour integrated into the downtown core, to measure trace gas concentrations in the vicinity of marine vessels, in some cases with direct or near-direct marine combustion plume intercepts. This is the first application of the OP-FTIR measurement technique to real-time, spectroscopic measurements of CO2, CO, O3, NO2, NH3, CH3OH, HCHO, CH4 and N2O in the vicinity of harbour emissions originating from a variety of marine vessels, and the first measurement of shipping emissions in the ambient environment along the eastern seaboard of North America outside of the Gulf Coast. The spectrometer, its active mid-IR source and its detector were located on shore while the passive retroreflector was on a nearby island, yielding a 455 m open path over the ocean (910 m two-way). Atmospheric absorption spectra were recorded during day, night, sunny, cloudy and substantially foggy or precipitating conditions, with a temporal resolution of 1 min or better. A weather station was co-located with the retroreflector to aid in the processing of absorption spectra and the interpretation of results, while a webcam recorded images of the harbour once per minute. Trace gas concentrations were retrieved from spectra by the MALT non-linear least squares iterative fitting routine. During field measurements (7 days in July–August 2016; 12 days in January 2017) AIS information on nearby ship activity was manually collected from a commercial website and used to calculate emission rates of shipping combustion products (CO2, CO, NOx, HC, SO2), which were then linked to measured concentration variations using ship position and wind information. During periods of low wind speed we observed extended (∼9 h) emission accumulations combined with near-complete O3 titration, both in winter and in summer. Our results compare well with a NAPS monitoring station ∼1 km away, pointing to the extended spatial scale of this effect, commonly found in much larger European shipping channels. We calculated total marine sector emissions in Halifax Harbour based on a complete AIS dataset of ship activity during the cruise ship season (May–October 2015) and the remainder of the year (November 2015–April 2016) and found trace gas emissions (tonnes) to be 2.8 % higher on average during the cruise ship season, when passenger ship emissions were found to contribute 18 % of emitted CO2, CO, NOx, SO2 and HC (0.5 % in the off season due to occasional cruise ships arriving, even in April). Similarly, calculated particulate emissions are 4.1 % higher during the cruise ship season, when passenger ship emissions contribute 18 % of the emitted particulate matter (PM) (0.5 % in the off season). Tugs were found to make the biggest contribution to harbour emissions of trace gases in both cruise ship season (23 % NOx, 24 % SO2) and the off season (26 % of both SO2 and NOx), followed by container ships (25 % NOx and SO2 in the off season, 21 % NOx and SO2 in cruise ship season). In the cruise ship season cruise ships were observed to be in third place regarding trace gas emissions, whilst tankers were in third place in the off season, with both being responsible for 18 % of the calculated emissions. While the concentrations of all regulated trace gases measured by OP-FTIR as well as the nearby in situ NAPS sensors were well below maximum hourly permissible levels at all times during the 19-day measurement period, we find that AIS-based shipping emissions of NOx over the course of 1 year are 4.2 times greater than those of a nearby 500 MW stationary source emitter and greater than or comparable to all vehicle NOx emissions in the city. Our findings highlight the need to accurately represent emissions from the shipping and marine sectors at intermediate ports integrated into urban environments. Emissions can be represented as pseudo-stationary and/or pseudo-line sources.

Résumé :
Les préoccupations croissantes de ces dernières années concernant le réchauffement climatique obligent l'industrie du transport maritime à réduire son empreinte environnementale, et en particulier le secteur des paquebots de croisière. L'objectif principal de cette thèse est l'exploration et le développement de méthodes de machine learning et recherche opérationnelle afin de fournir des stratégies à même d'améliorer l'efficacité énergétique des paquebots, au niveau des opérations et de la conception. Du point de vue opérationnel, notre recherche est consacrée à l'optimisation du système de propulsion, le plus grand consommateur d'énergie d'un paquebot de croisière. Nos principales contributions dans ce travail sont le développement de stratégies innovantes de machine learning pour modéliser le système de propulsion et une méthodologie systématique pour favoriser des modèles parcimonieux et éviter le risque de sur-apprentissage. Deux applications visant à optimiser l'efficacité de la propulsion sont examinées. La première concerne le développement d'une application de gestion du poids mort des fluides tandis que la deuxième s'intéresse à l'impact de l'encrassement biologique sur l'efficacité de la propulsion. La deuxième partie de la thèse se focalise sur la production d'énergie dans le cadre de la conception des paquebots de croisière. La principale contribution de cette deuxième partie est le développement d'un modèle mathématique (MILP) pour les systèmes multi-énergies des paquebots de croisière, qui optimise simultanément la conception et le fonctionnement du système d'énergie. Une optimisation bi-objectif a ainsi été réalisée en considérant les coûts et les émissions de gaz à effet de serre sur la durée de vie. Les résultats de cette thèse ouvrent la voie à de futures applications du machine learning et de la recherche opérationnelle dans la conception et les opérations de l'industrie des paquebots de croisièreAmid growing concerns over global warming, the shipping industry, particularly the cruise ship sector, has come under increased scrutiny. This thesis focuses on harnessing machine learning and operations research to enhance energy efficiency within the industry. The work has focused on two broad aspects of energy efficiency in cruise ships: operational and design energy efficiency. From an operational perspective, the research prioritizes the optimization of the propulsion system, a cruise ship's primary energy consumer. Key contributions include innovative machine learning methodologies for the propulsion system, ensuring real-world applicability through hindcast weather data and a systematic data-splitting approach. Two applications, fluid deadweight management and studying biofouling's impact on propulsion efficiency, are discussed. On the design front, we introduce a Mixed Integer Linear Programming model for cruise ship multi-energy systems, aiming to optimize design and operation concurrently. A bi-objective optimization considering lifecycle costs and greenhouse gas emissions was undertaken, with solutions derived from the epsilon-constraint method and by integrating carbon taxes. Overall, this work underscores the potential of machine learning and operations research inadvancing the cruise ship industry's energy efficiency, laying a foundation for their broader applications in the future

Résumé :
Cruise tourism is expanding everywhere, despite the pandemic; CLIA (2021) reports that, in 2020, the economic damage was around 77 billion dollars, but records a significant increase in travelers who aspire to join a cruise. Cruise ships and their economic impact have been the subject of research for many years and the data, which can be obtained from various sources, denote the importance of this particular sector. Through the MSC case study, this contribution aims to partecipate in the reflection on the theme of sustainability, to look at the possibility of directing cruise tourism towards a new way of introducing Man into the landscape.

Résumé :
AbstractThe shipping industry transported a total volume of 10.3 billion tons of cargo in 2017 (UNCTAD 2017) and is estimated to employ 1.5 million workers (http://www.ilo.org/global/standards/subjects-covered-by-international-labour-standards/seafarers/lang%2D%2Den/index.htm accessed 1/2/18) who are classed as seafarers. Such workers are employed on different vessel types in the cruise and cargo sectors. Sailors working for the military are not classed as seafarers. However, seafarers may be employed on board in a variety of roles which are not directly associated with marine navigation (as croupiers or entertainers on a cruise ship for example) but their ship should be engaged in a voyage which would differentiate them from taking a ‘fishing trip’ for example. Doumbia-Henry describes some of the provisions of ILO Convention No. 185 stating that:

Résumé :
In many ways the cruise industry is the success story of modern tourism. Less than 30 years ago commentators were predicting its demise after years of slow and steady decline. It had become an object of ridicule with the oft repeated joke that its customers consisted just of the ‘newly-wed, overfed, and the nearly dead’. The hit US TV show, ‘Love Boat’, set on a cruise ship, and broadcast from 1977 to 1986 seemed to mirror the decline of traditional cruising; highly popular with audiences in its early days its ratings fell and it was axed after nine years in 1986. And then, in the early 1990s, cruising went through a period of change that can only be described as revolutionary. American brands led the way in over-hauling the whole cruise experience in line with how consumer society was changing, making cruising both affordable and attractive to a wider range of demographic groups. It was no longer just for the rich and the elderly; the industry reached out to people of all ages and means. The market responded enthusiastically, and the cruise market has been growing steadily ever since. Today, cruise operators invest billions in new ships and developing new onboard experiences that will put them ahead of their competitors. Most coastal tourist destinations with any kind of port or harbour facility seek to attract as many cruise ships as possible, fully aware of the spending power of cruise passengers when they come ashore. For their part consumers are very loyal to the cruise experiences with an increasing number of people enjoying several cruises every year. There are now cruise channels on satellite and cable television and specialist cruise magazines that focus solely on cruise products and destinations. However, in the past few years, some commentators have begun to view the cruise sector through more critical eyes. Its environmental impact has not come under scrutiny until recently, as most attention has focused on the more obvious target, aviation. However, several high-profile news stories have begun to shine a spotlight on the environmental impact of cruise ships. This scrutiny is likely to intensify as more and more public and media attention is focused on the plight of our oceans and the impacts on them of global warming.

Résumé :
The growth of the Global Economy and in particular the Caribbean Islands has been for the last two decades fueled by the cruise shipping industry. However, the growth in this industry gives rise to the expansion in ship size and the number of destinations. Unfortunately, the cruise line industry is responsible for the largest volume of waste, pollutants and destruction to marine lives when compared to other maritime industry sector. This chapter seeks to highlight the correlation between the industry and the growing global need for vibrant economies, a high quality of life, while protecting the environment and sustaining the world’s natural resources. A review of several literature has shown that within the last twenty years, the cruise lines have invested a lot of time and money correcting the negative environmental impacts created. Several proactive and green shipping initiatives designed to improve environmental management were successfully implemented by the industry. These diverse initiatives are group as follows: Research and Innovation, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Marketing, Awareness raising/environmental education initiative, and Green technologies. Emanating from these initiatives are: reduce or obviate of harmful environmental emissions and environmental management improvements and ultimately an environment that is experiencing an increased level of sustainability and economic activities.

Résumé :
“…But this coronavirus has forced us into a new framework, within which we move without any ease: everything has new ways, everything appears as never seen, it’s like finding yourself in an uncharted territory…” (G. Arma, 2020) With these words Gennaro Arma, Captain of the Diamond Princess cruise ship, describes the very first moments following the detection of what would become the first recorded outbreak of Covid-19 outside of China. It occurred during a roundtrip cruise which departed from Yokohama port, in Japan, on 20 January 2020. Among the 3,700 people on board, more than 700 tested positive for the virus, 14 of whom died during hospitalization. A situation which was faced without the support of emergency protocols that contemplated a modus operandi to follow. The ship constituted a confined control volume which allowed to analyze the main routes of virus propagation that mainly occur through direct contact between individuals, indirect one via contaminated objects and surfaces (also referred to as fomites) and airborne transmission. This has greatly affected the overall design paradigm, especially concerning the safety levels to be assured on board. The paper is going to analyze these focal points, starting from a possible implementation of HVAC system. It comes after an extensive study of the air flow circulation, as well as the application of filtering and purifications solutions, considering ship age and ventilation type, assessing the possibility of isolating those sectors of the plant acting on some areas dedicated to the management of emergency situations. Synoptically, there will be an extensive analysis related to the different surface types present on board and possible design interventions (i.e. smart materials). The Diamond Princess experience represents the prime mover aimed at the world of scientific research at the formulation of design guidelines applicable to the world of cruise ships and, consequently, in the civil architecture field. The outcome results have helped to build a transversal, holistic know-how, thanks to which it will be possible to control the occurrence of future pandemic episodes.

Résumé :
The cruise industry is one of the dynamic markets with high investment in port facilities worldwide and in building luxury cruise ships as well. It incorporates elements of the product market, educational activities, and has developed into a spectacular destination. Cruising includes a great part in the tourism chain, including transport, catering, tourism, leisure, and travel. The aim of the chapter is to examine the economic and statistical data of the cruise industry and cruise tourism through a European approach, based on secondary data and research. It further explores the economic impact of the European cruise industry on the European economies. Moreover, the chapter tries to compare the economic impact of the European cruise among the previous years and to ascertain whether these impacts benefit the European economies or not. The evolution of the direct economic impacts are captured and a discussion about the total economic impacts of the European cruise sector is given. This study would offer facilitation in directing future research relevant to cruise tourism.

Résumé :
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the maritime sector. Shipowners decided to lay-up their ships, especially cruise ones, or carry out operational tasks in accordance with pandemic restrictions. Safe working and rest conditions for crews and passengers had to be ensured in order to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus onboard. One of main problems, due to the travel restrictions, was extended contracts of seafarers. As a result, physical overload and mental strains were observed. International support was necessary to support crews in different aspects of their work and life, to organize home returns, or even medical assistance.

Résumé :
The impact of single extreme waves or wave groups on marine structures and ships causes enormous forces often leading to critical situations or even loss of ship, cargo and crew. One approach to avoid dangerous situations is to adjust heading and cruise speed. To identify critical situations well in advance the forecast of the incoming wave train is essential. Concerning the method to predict the wave train a ship will encounter within the near future — some minutes ahead — the so far unidirectional WAVE FORECAST method, pre-calculating an encountering wave train from surface elevation snapshots of the surrounding sea — taken by radar — has been improved. This paper presents a method to predict the entire sea state within the surrounding area of the vessel considering multidirectional waves. Thus the evolution of critical waves coming from various directions can be predicted. In addition the SHIP MOTION FORECAST method — pre-calculating the vessel response — has also been enhanced. Taking into account the encounter angle of the incoming wave components, depending on time and course angle of the vessel, the ship-fixed compass rose is divided into a number of sectors. The corresponding encountering wave train for every sector is derived by superimposing all wave components coming from certain directions. With a set of directional Response Amplitude Operators (RAOs) for the six degrees of freedom the sector-wise vessel responses can be calculated as well. The response spectra are derived in frequency domain and transferred into time domain by the use of Inverse Fast Fourier Transformation (IFFT). Thus the overall vessel response is obtained by superimposing the time domain responses for every sector and degree of freedom, delivering a comprehensive data base for the analysis of critical situations in advance.

Résumé :
This paper is concerned with slamming on ships, with particular emphasis on bow flare slamming. An efficient numerical method presented by Hermundstad and Moan (2007) is briefly described, and a summary of previous and new validation results is given. This includes a bow section dropped onto calm water, a 120 m RoRo ship at 20 knots, a 290 m cruise ship at low speed and an FPSO at zero speed. Predictions of slam-induced local stresses by combined slamming and FE-analysis are validated for an aluminum section dropped onto calm water. Based on the experience with the different cases, some general re marks are made with respect to the applicability of the method, the importance of various physical effects and the need for further work.

Résumé :
The radical transition from 'fun ships' to 'smart ships' is a complex phenomenon, involving technological, social and design aspects, which require systemic and complex thinking. The theoretical investigation of this research aims to fill an existing gap in design processes applied to cruise ships by providing a 'service + spatial’ perspective in the interpretation of the smart phenomenon, integrated in a multidisciplinary approach with ICT and Social Sciences. The new concepts of customer experience, cultural diversity, immersive technologies, cyber-physical systems and environmental commitment denote a strong connection of spaces and services with users and related human factors. In this sense, design has a collaborative and human-centered approach, as it considers users' experience and involves them as an active part of the design process. The results of this research show how a design-driven approach, rather than a technology-push or market-pull one, can drive towards radical changes in designing innovative and more sustainable ships through a better use of human capital and the multicultural richness of cruise passengers. Guidelines for design-driven research in the cruise industry can help companies move from closed and low transparent to new holistic approaches to innovation, guided by a critical attitude towards radical changes in the industry.

Résumé :
Abstract In order to master the structural response characteristics, a digital twin model of the cruise structural experiment model is constructed to grasp the deformation and interaction mechanism between the main hull and plump superstructure under each loading condition. The structural matrix of the experiment model is constructed to establish the reduced order model. Furthermore, the real-time response of the cruise structural experiment model can be predicted by the kriging agent model. Subsequently, the experiment model of a cruise ship is taken as the object. Three typical cross-section measuring points are arranged in the midship area to monitor structural response. Ten groups of different working conditions are designed to compare the response characteristics. It is found that the structural response error between the results of the digital twin model and the experiment remains small under each loading condition. The digital twin model can represent the character of the experiment model effectively. The interaction mechanism between the main hull and superstructure can be investigated using the proposed digital twin model to improve the safety and reliability of the cruise ship structure.

Résumé :
In this article we present details of “ShallowFlow”, a computer program to model the hydrodynamic flow around ships in calm shallow water. The program is based on slender-body shallow-water theory. Outputs from the program include far-field hydrodynamic pressure and flow velocities; free surface drawdown; sinkage and trim. Varying transverse bathymetry including open water, dredged channels, and canals of arbitrary cross-section may be modelled. The method is best suited to displacement ships, including cargo ships, ferries, cruise ships, warships and superyachts.

Résumé :
The thickness of ice is the major factor affecting the rapid and safe cruise of icebreaking vessels. Unfortunately, measuring the ice thickness has been known to be a difficult task. An approach to measure the ice thickness by analyzing the video clips of ice breaking is introduced. From a series of still shots, the broken section of the ice is identified using image processing techniques such as conversion of color space, edge detection, boundary motion, and various digital smoothing filters. The algorithm developed is verified by comparing the results with measured data.

Résumé :
This research investigates the evolution of spaces and services for customers in the naval and nautical sectors, through the method of case study analysis. The spread of smart technologies has deeply transformed our society in every context, generating relationships based on network systems and new forms of communication among people, objects and surrounding environments. In the cruise and yacht sectors smart technologies have affected the sea travel, leading companies to rethink spaces and services for customers. The results show how smart technologies can improve the quality of travel on board, offering new opportunities than on former ships, and at the same time indicate critical factors derived by the use of these new technologies.

Résumé :
A methodology for calculating the correlation factors to combine the long-term dynamic stress components of ship structure from various loads in seas is presented. The methodology is based on a theory of a stationary ergodic narrow-banded Gaussian process. The total combined stress in short-tem sea states is expressed by linear summation of the component stresses with the corresponding combination factors. This expression is proven to be mathematically exact when applied to a single random sea. The long-term total stress is similarly expressed by linear summation of component stresses with appropriate combination factors. The stress components considered here are due to wave-induced vertical bending moment, wave-induced horizontal bending moment, external wave pressure and internal tank pressure. For application, the stress combination factors are calculated for longitudinal stiffeners in cargo and ballast tanks of a crude oil tanker at midship section. It is found that the combination factors strongly depend on wave heading and period in the short-term sea states. It is also found that the combination factors are not sensitive to the selected probability of exceedance level of the stress in the long-term sense.
