Agreement has been reached between
management of Worldwide Cruise Terminals
(WCT) and Taiwan International Ports
Corporation (TIPC), with the two parties
signing a letter of intent for cooperation to
develop cruise-related economies in East Asia.
WCT oversees the management of the newly
opened Kai Tak Cruise Terminal in Hong Kong,
while TIPC itself manages seven international
ports servicing cruise ships in Taiwanese cities.
Under the pact, the two organisations will
share marine transport data, will work to
develop itineraries incorporating Hong Kong &
Taiwan and to promote the two destinations to
cruise ship operators.
“Promotion of cruise destinations is a team
game in which nearby ports of call must work
closely together to raise service standards
and jointly attract more cruise lines to visit,”
Worldwide Cruise Terminals md Jeff Bent said.
