Shipping Statistics and Market Review

摘要

The ISL "total passenger" fleet (ships of 300 grt and over) contains different segments such as cruise ships, pure passenger ships/ferries, ro-pax units (car ferries) and conventional cargo/passenger ships. Table 1 indicates the composition of the total passenger fleet at the start of 2020. Besides 2,079 "pure" cruise/passenger vessels, this fleet segment also comprises 2,978 passenger/ro-ro cargo ships (including ro-pax car ferries and conventional passenger/cargo ships). In terms of tonnage, the cruise vessels accounted for more than half of the grt capacity, whereas by number, ro-pax/car ferries (56 %) and pure passenger ferries (30 %) dominate.
