4 Port Development Considerations Attractiveness Opportunities Capacity Incentives Infrastructure

5 Port Development Considerations Build new or use existing facilities? Multi-use use or cruise only facilities? Retail or operational space? Prime or practical location? Turnaround or transit port calls? Need for current size or larger berths? Are passenger/crew facilities on site necessary?

6 Port Development Issues Berthing priorities Over-committing to cruise lines Arbitrary fees or drastic pricing increases Compulsory fees Environmental policies Reliance on cruise funded projects

7 Sydney Infrastructure in Australia

8 Infrastructure in Australia Sydney OPT not adequate for large ship turnaround calls Retail places demands on operations Prime location for passengers and crew Wharf 8 restricted by bridge height potential of losing this cruise berth No definite plans for a new cruise berth

9 Infrastructure in Australia Melbourne

10 Infrastructure in Australia Melbourne Recently renovated terminal; addition of new gangways beneficial Multiple ships possible, but can only accommodate up to a certain LOA Turnaround ops difficult with other ships in port Good access to city for passengers and crew

11 Infrastructure in Australia Brisbane

12 Infrastructure in Australia Brisbane Current berth is difficult operationally due to Current berth is difficult operationally due to lack of sufficient space Multiple ship calls are difficult due to lack on infrastructure on adjacent berth Limited ships can dock at dedicated cruise berth due to bridge restrictions New cruise berth at Fisherman s Island far out of town

13 Infrastructure in Australia Fremantle Adequate infrastructure for current market Sufficient space for vessel operations Able to handle multiple ships on same day Location provides easy access to town and trains for passengers/crew

14 Darwin Infrastructure in Australia

15 Infrastructure in Australia Darwin New cruise terminal great for transit calls Interior allows area for vendor set-up, visitor information, and crew services Close location to city; commercial waterfront development a plus Multiple ship calls possible, but berth space better equipped for single ship calls

16 Cairns Infrastructure in Australia

17 Infrastructure in Australia Cairns Berth sufficient for multiple vessels Location close to town Movements restricted by tidal windows makes calls logistically difficult Wharf sheds can accommodate smaller vessel turnaround operations and transit calls.

18 Infrastructure in Australia Adelaide

19 Infrastructure in Australia Adelaide Renovations to Outer Harbour terminal from state gov t and port authority funding Improvements to interior and exterior of terminal are beneficial Location outside of town for passengers and crew Could accommodate multiple vessels

20 Hobart Infrastructure in Australia

21 Infrastructure in Australia Hobart Centrally located in town, easy passenger/crew access No plans for upgrades on wharf or sheds Multiple ship calls possible Easy approach for vessels entering from the harbor

22 Infrastructure in Australia Newcastle

23 Infrastructure in Australia Newcastle Upgrading existing berth to dedicated cruise terminal New terminal to accommodate turnaround and transit ops; large cruise vessels Port focus on cruise development Location close to city center and attractions

24 Infrastructure in Australia Townsville

25 Infrastructure in Australia Townsville Current cargo berth used for cruise Planned terminal development is delayed; plans being scaled back Need to consider expected cruise deployment when considering project scope

26 Liverpool Ports Around the World

27 Ports Around the World La Goulette

28 Juneau Ports Around the World

29 Seattle Ports Around the World

30 Ports Around the World Wellington

31 Ports Around the World Civitavecchia

32 Ports Around the World Copenhagen

33 Ports Around the World Puerto Montt

34 Ports Around the World Puerto Vallarta

35 Ports Around the World Greenwich

36 Port and Terminal Development Limited ports can accommodate larger and multiple vessel calls Consider upgrading existing facilities vs. building new ones Location is important for transit calls Work with cruise lines to develop port infrastructure and future ship calls

37 Port and Terminal Development Determine cruise interest before developing infrastructure Look at value added benefits for enticing cruise companies Examine alternative ways for project funding Keep it simple, usable, and efficient
