Strong expansion of cruise ships traffic and cruising destinations in the Adriatic makes the region ideal for cruise ships routing analysis. The aim of this paper is to detect real cruise ships traffic movement in order to understand how present cruise ships routes are navigationally and environmentally sustainable and safe. Cruise ships characteristic operational demand and navigational routine in relation with regions indented coast line with high level of environmentally preserved areas in landscape of high national value, emphasise importance of real cruise ships routing awareness. The research is based on one year cruise ships traffic monitoring and routes analysis in the Central Adriatic East coast. The results offer detail insight of cruise ships navigational routines in navigationally less defined area that has not been frequent cruising region before. Cruise ships routes comparison is carried out between North Adriatic region, which is well defined with traffic separation schemes and navigational aids and less defined Central and South Adriatic regions. The results show that principle of cruise ships routing differ from standard maritime practice and that operational demand for attractive cruising and passenger experience bring cruise ships close to shores in various demanding navigational situations. That routing practice does not meet criteria of sustainability as it often present high navigational, safety and environmental risk.

In recent decades, there has been noticed a continuous growth of passengers on cruise ships. Technical as well as technological development follow this growth side to side as far as construction, transport of passengers and strict legal regulations are concerned. However, recent maritime accidents, such as the Costa Concordia’s accident, question the level of maritime safety on cruise ships. Maritime accidents on cruise ships are almost entirely linked to human factor, directly or indirectly. Apart from the parameters affecting human factor, the literature mentions very frequently the importance of education, training and crew competences in the process of reducing the number of maritime accidents. However, very few researches have been done on competences that can affect strongly the level of maritime safety on cruise ships, i.e., that can reduce the effects of human factor on it. The purpose of this study was to find a connection between reducing the effects of human factor on accidents and the crew competences on cruise ships. The research lasted for two years and consisted of two phases. Qualitative as well as quantitative methods of analysis were used in both phases. Competences that are the essential part of obligatory programmes the crew members on cruise ships have to master, and that are prescribed by the STCW Convention were analysed in the first part of the research. The second part of the research analysed competences that are essential part of programmes resulting from the cruise companies’ demands. Cruise companies have defined and determined additional programmes and competences that seafarers, navigating on their ships, have to complete and develop. The aim of the research was to determine what type of competences the cruise companies look for through additional education programmes and to determine the amount of time needed to develop them.

The importance of safety on ships is beyond dispute, however, there are some types of ship for which this matter deserves special consideration. One of these types of ships are passenger cruises, due to the high number of human lives that travel on board. For this reason, we believe that a particular study of safety in cruise ships is needed. The Port State Control (PSC) mechanism of coastal States to try to ensure security in their territorial waters in respect of the traffic of foreign ships may, a priori, be an impartial and reliable indicator of security, according to the deficiencies it detect in ships and the detentions that carried out. Thus, we will use the PSC inspections in this paper. The source of information about PSC inspections is EQUASIS, which is the information system of the majority of regional agreements PSC and US Coast Guard. The study period is 5 years (2012-2016) and the cruise ships analysed are belonging to the International Association of Cruise Lines (CLIA). The objective of this work is an initial approach to safety on cruise ships and the structure of the sector according several factors (company, cruise type, age and pavilion).

[...]Celem artykułu jest ocena działań inwestycyjnych Zarządu Morskiego Portu Gdynia SA w zakresie przygotowania infrastruktury portu w Gdyni do obsługi statków wycieczkowych. Ponadto sformułowano następujące problemy badawcze: (1) Jaki jest zakres kompetencji zarządów portów morskich w Polsce w zakresie planowania i rozwoju portów zagwarantowany prawnie? (2) Jakiego rodzaju inwestycje zrealizowane zostały z inicjatywy Zarządu Morskiego Portu Gdynia SA w latach 2007-2013? (3) Jaki jest stan przygotowania infrastruktury portowej w porcie morskim w Gdyni do obsługi morskich statków wycieczkowych? Badania zrealizowano w okresie od lipca 2013 do kwietnia 2014 r. W badaniach wykorzystano metody badań eksploracyjnych oraz desk research materiałów źródłowych i raportów z realizacji inwestycji, ale także wyniki wywiadu przeprowadzonego z przedstawicielami Zarządu ZMPG-A SA. Analizie poddano także akty normatywne odnoszące się do działalności portów morskich.[...]

In recent years, the authorities of Polish seaports have been conducted the active investment policy. The main stimulus to undertake these activities was the ability to gain financial support from European funds, mainly from the Cohesion Fund, the European Regional Development Fund and the Norwegian Financial Mechanism. In Poland, the port authorities were able to submit the investment projects to apply for EU support to the Infrastructure and Environment Operational Programme and the Regional Operational Programmes for the Pomeranian regions. The seaport authorities rebuilt quays, deepened and widened the waterways in the port basins, modernized communication accessibility to the ports from the land and the sea, as well as built logistics centers and introduced innovative solutions in the field of navigation and improved the safety of navigation. However, the analysis showed that investment activities in Polish seaports still allocate not enough space to issues of preparation of port infrastructure to support passengers' cruise ships and adaptation of the quays for terminals dedicated for handling of cruise ships. The objective of the study in this article is to assess the investment activities, realized by the Port of Gdynia Authority S.A, in the field of preparation of the port infrastructure in Gdynia to handle cruise ships.

Cruise ships arriving in the port of Koper carry approximately 1000 to 3000 passengers and crew members. Such a concentration of people presents a high degree of risk in the event of a major disaster, because it is difficult to control, due to limited space, the dynamics of people in the event of a general panic, the presence of large amounts of fuel, proximity of the city center and other vessels and cargo at the port. To avoid the possibility of hazard events, a good safety assessment must be done prior to a ship’s arrival. One of the methodologies for systematically assessing the risk is a Formal Safety Assessment, a tool for determing and evaluating the risk of potential hazards at a cruise ship terminal. This paper discusses the diverse aspects of safety analysis.
