“We know that the world recession had a severely negative impact on a lot of people but we are hopeful that we will see some light for the rest of the year and the season,”.
“It’s good to see a few vessels coming in because the last couple of months were extremely slow, sometimes although a ship was in port we can’t find any passengers, but we hope all that will change, at least for now,”.
“We are really looking forward to a better year, but if the small craft traders are to really benefit from increased cruise arrivals, Government has to move to protect the craft industry,”.
