HRF Posted May 11, 2018 #8 Share Posted May 11, 2018 he federal government has outlined plans to help NSW’s cruise industry, announcing it will be financing the search for a third Sydney cruise terminal. The development of this vital piece of infrastructure, which the cruise lines have indicated is sorely needed, will bring in billions of tourism dollars. Currently the cruise ship industry brings in $5 billion in economic value every year to Australia, with Sydney accounting for 63 per cent of that figure. But Sydney’s Overseas Passenger Terminal as well as White Bay are at capacity. Lines like Norwegian Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean and Carnival Cruise Line have said they will bring more ships to Sydney, but the harbour is running out of space. In the Federal Budget this week, the government committed $300,000 to investigating new sites that will help meet the demands of the cruise industry. Joel Katz from the Cruise Lines International Association welcomed the commitment from the federal government, saying that this was a much needed piece of infrastructure, east of the Harbour Bridget. “This funding is a recognition of the growth of the cruise industry and the significant contribution that cruise delivers to the Australian economy,” he said. “CLIA’s recent Economic Impact Report showed that the industry contributes in excess of $5b to the Australian economy, $3.1 billion coming from NSW, and by addressing the capacity constraints in Sydney, we have the opportunity to ensure the industry continues to grow. “Sydney is Australia’s cruise gateway and ensuring we have the capacity to accommodate more ships, means we will see more international ships bringing international visitors to our shores, as well as the prospect of more homeported ships – which would have a massive flow on effect to businesses and communities far beyond the ships and ports. “We look forward to continuing to work with all levels of government and peak industry groups to determine the best solution for Sydney and Australia.” Carnival Australia, which represents major brands like Princess Cruises, Carnival Cruise Line and P&O cruises welcomed the commitment. “We welcome this because it acknowledges the growth in the cruise ship industry and the need for extra berthing options east of the Sydney Harbour Bridge,” a spokeswoman said. Around 800,000 people sailed from Sydney in 2017 and it’s believed the numbers will grow. But while there has been an industry push to utilise Garden Island, the federal government will investigate options at Port Botany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiliburn Posted May 11, 2018 #11 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Garden Island is the best solution,they could use it for a overflow for the peak of the season .November -February. There’s a report in government news that’s the preferred option. People want to see the harbour,not port botany or even white bay. As for the overseas passenger terminal,it needs a make over . Especially a covered waiting area.with 5000 passengers waiting to board a ship and there’s a storm.what a disaster? Has anybody had concerns about that ,while waiting?

We arrive and board, we rarely have had to wait, let alone being outside the terminal to wait. I suppose we don't try and get on at 11am and also stay in the pub for another drink if the crowd is outside the terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

possum52 Posted May 11, 2018 #14 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Only time I’ve had to wait outside at the OPT was during the renovations We boarded once during the renovations and walked straight in after being dropped off at the OPT directly from the airport.

Rare Tigerlily75 Posted May 11, 2018 #15 Share Posted May 11, 2018 It's in the Federal Budget. $300k at this point to develop options for extra cruise ship capacity in Sydney.

NSWP Posted May 12, 2018 #16 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Botany has been mentioned, nice cruise terminal located in the plethora of container terminals there. The Botany locals are against the idea according to media reports. How about building a cruise terminal at Manly, right near the ferry pier? Sydney Ferries & Sydney Buses would make a motza taking pax from Manly to the City etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The North Shore Silvertails won't wear it.:evilsmile: They don't want those awful cruise ships in their backyard, but send them down to Botany where the working class live.
