Nel 2007 i porti di Cruise Europe hanno movimentato 6,4 milioni di passeggeri (+2,0%)

Cruise Europe, l'associazione costituita da oltre 70 porti crocieristici del Baltico, della Scandinavia e della costa occidentale del continente europeo, ha reso noti i dati del traffico crocieristico registrato dagli scali associati nel 2007.

Complessivamente il traffico movimentato lo scorso anno dai porti che fanno capo all'associazione è ammontato a 6.408.714 passeggeri, in aumento del 2,0% rispetto a 6.283.044 passeggeri nel 2006.

I primi tre scali per numero di crocieristi movimentati hanno registrato una sensibile crescita del traffico: Southampton ha movimentato 798.463 passeggeri (+8,2% sul 2006), Copenhagen 502.000 passeggeri (+9,6%) e Lisbona 305.185 passeggeri (+12,7%). Tra gli altri primi dieci porti crocieristici di Cruise Europe solo Cadice ha totalizzato una crescita del traffico (+10,7%), mentre gli altri sei scali hanno registrato una flessione compresa tra il 2,1% di San Pietroburgo e l'8,8% di Bergen.

Average no. of passengers per call			951		1.045		1.132

The Cruise Europe News statistics are based on the number of calls and number of passengers to each of the 100 ports/cities listed in the above table. The total number of passengers for each year therefore represents throughput of visitors where each visitor may have visited more than one port and is therefore counted more than once. By using the same method of counting and presenting the numbers the results can be used to measure the increase/decrease in the number of people visiting the 100 ports/cities on cruise ships each year. For example, during the 2007 season 2% more passengers visited the 100 ports/cities than in 2006. The number of calls was down by 5,8% and the average number of passengers per call was up by 8%. Using the numbers to evaluate the ports/cities against each other should in most cases give an accurate picture. However, it has to be admitted that there is some discrepancy in the counting method used by the bigger turnaround ports. Some only count passengers once but others twice. A ship leaving and returning to the same port with the same passengers can count each one once or twice and the 101 ports listed here are not consistent, which complicates comparisons.
