CLIA: Global Cruise Passenger Numbers Grow in 2018
Cruising continued at a paced growth around the world, with a 6.7 percent increase from 2017 to 2018, according to Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA).
As informed, a total of 28.5 million passengers traveled onboard cruise ships last year.
Research showed that North American travelers continue to embrace cruising with an annual passenger increase of 9 percent year-over-year (YOY). Around 14.2 million passengers in 2018 were from North America, representing 49.9 percent of global ocean passengers.
In addition, 25.1 percent of total passengers came from Europe, followed by Asia-Pacific and South America.
While the cruise sector represents 2 percent of the overall global travel industry, this segment is on pace with international tourism worldwide. According to the latest UNWTO World Tourism Barometer, international tourist arrivals grew 6 percent in 2018, totaling 1.4 billion while cruise travel grew at almost 7 percent during the same timing.
"It is not surprising that cruise travel is on par with overall international tourism growth. Cruising makes international travel accessible for travelers worldwide and it is apparent in the 2018 CLIA global passenger findings," Kelly Craighead, president and CEO, CLIA, commented.
"From a renewed interest in cruises to the Mediterranean to a significant increase in adventure cruising, travelers are embracing cruise travel more than ever before," she added.

US Blacklists Two Shipping Firms, Tanker for Violating Venezuela Sanctions
The U.S. Department of the Treasury has blacklisted two shipping firms and a number of vessels, including one Greek tanker, in relation with the U.S. sanctions on Venezuela.
The two companies are the Liberia-based Ballito Bay Shipping and Greek ProPer In Management, respectively the registered owner and the operator of the blacklisted tanker.
The Liberia-flagged 71,600 dwt crude oil tanker Despina Andrianna was delivering crude oil from Venezuela to Cuba during February and March of 2019 in violation of American sanctions, according to the Department of the Treasury.
Additionally, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) identified 34 vessels as blocked property of Petroleos de Venezuela (PdVSA), which was blacklisted on January 28, 2019, for operating in the oil sector of the Venezuelan economy.
"Cuba has been an underlying force fueling Venezuela s descent into crisis. Treasury is taking action against vessels and entities transporting oil, providing a lifeline to keep the illegitimate Maduro regime afloat," Steven T. Mnuchin, Treasury Secretary, said.
"Cuba continues to profit from, and prop up, the illegitimate Maduro regime through oil-for-repression schemes as they attempt to keep Maduro in power. The United States remains committed to a transition to democracy in Venezuela and to holding the Cuban regime accountable for its direct involvement in Venezuela’s demise."
The U.S. said it continues to take strong action against the regime of former President Nicolas Maduro, not only to isolate corrupt Venezuelan enterprises, but also to target Maduro s supporters in Havana who continue to enable the oppression of the people of Venezuela.

NGO: 142 Ships Beached in South Asia in Q1
A total of 142 ships, from the 181 ships broken in the first quarter of 2019, were sold to the beaches of South Asia, according to the NGO Shipbreaking Platform.
During the three-month period, US, Saudi Arabian and Singaporean ship owners sold the most ships to South Asian yards, followed by Greek and South Korean owners.
More than half of the ships sold to South Asia this quarter changed flag to the registries of Comoros, Niue, Palau and St. Kitts and Nevis just weeks before hitting the beach.
Between January and March, three workers have lost their lives and four were severely injured when breaking ships in Bangladesh.
According to local sources, a worker lost his life in late January while working at S. S. Green Ship Breaking yard, located on the beach of Chittagong, Bangladesh. Two more workers dies when a fire broke out in the engine room on board the tanker S WARRIOR at Shagorika Ship Breaking Yard in mid-February.
No severe accidents were reported in India and Pakistan. Whilst information on accidents in Alang remain difficult to obtain due to lack of access and transparency, a significant decrease in scrapping activities has contributed to a quarter with no recorded accidents in Gadani, NGO Shipbreaking Platform explained. In the last six months, 70% of the workers are said to have lost their job.
The EU Ship Recycling Regulation became applicable on January 1, 2019. According to the Regulation, EU-flagged vessels have to be recycled in approved facilities included in the EU list. At least five ships were scrapped in accordance with the new requirements.
However, the platform recorded at least seven ships that swapped their European flag to that of a non-EU registry prior the last voyage to the shipbreaking yard in order to circumvent the legislation.
NGO Shipbreaking Platform said that the shipping industry claims that it is forced to re-flag as there is not enough capacity on the EU list. A report published in September last year by the platform and Transport & Environment, however, showed that there was more than enough capacity, both in terms of tonnage and size, to cater for the EU flagged end-of-life fleet. Since then, two Turkish yards, a yard in the US and more European yards have been added to the list.
This week the European Commission also announced that it intends to add a further eight yards operating in Denmark, Norway and Turkey to the list.
