Together with the French and the Norwegian subsidiary Vard, the group around Fincantieri is now clearly leading the world cruise ship construction scene. Hardly more than 50%-owned by the Italians, the leading French shipyard got back its former name Atlantique. Their share is larger than noted in the table, since the size of the smaller cruise ships for Viking Ocean Cruises is not yet disclosed. The total figures are striking: The World cruise fleet just surpassed the 22 mill. GT mark and the Fincantieri Group alone has 6 mill. GT more in its order books. Both shipyards of Meyer in Germany and Finland together have 3 mill. GT and the East German group MV Werften, which was bought back from a Russian investor, sums up to 0.6 mill. GT. Except the Chinese shipbuilder Waigaoqiao who started building big cruise ships, no further cruise ship builder has more tonnage on order than one mid-size vessel. Parallel to the fleet, the demand for cruises is expected to rise faster than ever before. Having surpassed the 25 mill. passengers threshold by 2016, Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) reported 26.7 mill. in 2017. For 2018, the preliminary figure is 28.2 mill. and the expectation is to count 30 mill. passengers by 2019 – and CLIA is not even covering the whole World. n »To be ordered« Shipyard Operator GT Del.
