Ports and Terminals in Canada and North Europe for Handling Vessels for Cruise Trips

Relevantan čimbenik koji utječe na razvitak prometa, turizma i gospodarskih djelatnosti u vodnom prometu su putničke luke i pripadajući terminali. Porastom prosječne veličine broda i opsega posla u vodnom prometu dolazi i do potrebe za povećanjem pomorskih luka i izgradnje bolje infrastrukture. Od klasičnih funkcionalnih luka stvoreni su suvremeni putnički terminali koji ispunjavaju zahtjeve pomoraca i putnika i osiguravaju prostor za primanje velikih brodova. Brod za kružna putovanja jest putnički brod čija namjena nije prijevoz osoba od jedne luke do druge luke odredišta, nego je namijenjen za uživanje u putovanju i sadržajima na brodu. Postoje brojni terminali sjeverne Europe i Kanade za prihvat brodova za kružna putovanja, najvažniji se nalaze u Montrealu, Vancuover, Halifax, Rostock, Southampton i drugi.The relevant factor that affects on the development of transport, tourism and economic activity in water transport is the passenger ports. The increase in the average size of the ship and the volume of work in water traffic results in the need to increase the maritime ports and build a better infrastructure. From the classic functional ports modern passenger terminals have been made which must satisfy the needs of both sailors and passengers and provide the space to receive large ships. Foreign vessel on cruise means a passenger ship intended rather to provide passengers with a pleasure of a journey and facilities for entertainment aboard than the transport of persons from one seaport to another. There are numerous terminals of northern Europe and Canada for the reception of cruise ships, most important are in Montreal, Vancuover, Halifax, Rostock, Southampton and others
