Problems of New Building Cruise Ships in the Age of the Pandemic

Jedan od najvažnijih faktora razvitka industrije krstarenja je prosperitetno gospodarsko tekuće poslovanje. Industrija krstarenja se smatra jedno od najbržih rastućih industrija prije covid pandemije. Ovu industriju karakterizira kontinuirano kapitalno ulaganje, raspolaže s velikim dobavnim kanalom, poboljšava lučko gospodarstvo obalnih zemalja, omogućava zapošljavanje velikog broja osoblja i na kraju pridonosi gospodarskom razvoju obalnih zemlja i morskih područja. U ožujku 2020. godine dolazi do globalne covid pandemije koja je narušila uobičajeni tok te podviga u industriji krstarenja. Dosadašnje istraživanje su pokazala da je covid pandemija u razdoblju od ožujka 2020, godina pa do kraja 2021. godine je smanjila broj putnika što je dovelo znatnih operativnih gubitaka, ali je i znatno utjecala na vrijednost dionica kruzerskih kompanija. Također je utjecala na prekid putovanja širom svijeta, a što se negativno odrazilo i samu novogradnju. Navedene obustave putovanja su dovele do znatnog gubitka poslovnih dobitaka kruzerskih kompanija te je uzrokovala sve veću zaduženost, a brodovi su se sve manje koristili čime je došlo sve veće zatrpanosti brodske flote. Zaduženost kruzer kompanija će znatno utjecati na održivo poslovanje kruzer kompanija i samim time na održivi razvitak industrije krstarenja. U svrhu sprječavanja najtežih posljedica koja je uzrokovala covid pandemija u industriji krstarenja kruzer kompanije bi trebale poduzeti značajne preventivne strategije radi postupanja u svrhu održivog razvitka industrije krstarenja i omogućiti plovidbu svim kruzerima širom svijeta.One of the most important factors in the development of the cruise industry is the prosperous economic current business. The cruise industry is considered one of the fastest growing industries before covid pandemics. This industry is characterized by continuous capital investment, it has a large supply channel, improves the port economy of coastal countries, enables employment a large number of personnel and ultimately contributes to the economic development of coastal countries and sea areas. In March 2020, the global covid pandemic occurred, which disrupted the usual course of this featin the cruise industry. Previous research has shown that the covid pandemic in the period of March 2020, the year until the end of 2021 reduced the number of passengers, which led to significant operating losses, but it also had a significant impact on the value of cruise company shares. It is also affected the interruption of travel around the world, which had a negative impact on the new construction itself. The listed the suspension of travel has led to a significant loss of business profits of cruise companies and is caused increasing indebtedness, and the ships were used less and less, which led to more and more congestion ship fleets. The indebtedness of cruise companies will significantly affect the sustainable business of cruise lines company and therefore on the sustainable development of the cruise industry. In order to prevent the most serious consequences caused by the covid pandemic in the cruise industry cruise lines should undertake significant preventive strategies in order to act for the purpose sustainable development of the cruise industry and enable sailing for all cruisers around the world
