(2) Offshore & Specialized Vessels business generally has shorter production times and, as a consequence, shorter backlog and quicker order turnaround than Cruise and Naval

Focus on Cruise
Enhanced health & safety protocols on board could reshape global cruise industry with an eye to sustainability
| U P D AT E O N | |
|---|---|
| O P E R AT I O N S |
- EU operations: temporary suspension as new travel restrictions are being reintroduced amid second wave of COVID-19
- US operations: CDC lifted the no-sail order and issued a framework for conditional sailing for responsible resumption of cruising
- CLIA announced voluntary suspension through December 31 to meet the health & safety requirements set by the CDC
R E S P O N S I B L E R E S U M P T I O N
- Reduced occupancy rates
- 100% testing of passengers and crew members both at embarkation and disembarkation
Major cruise operators are implementing rigorous safety protocols while preparing for a gradual resumption:
- Increased onboard testing and improved ship medical facilities
- Enhanced air sanitation standards
- The effectiveness of timely clinical developments and of the new health & safety protocols implemented on board will be key to industry recovery, with a gradual resumption of activities expected next year
N E W S TA N D A R D S
- Enhanced health & safety standards may be key to driving technological innovation: e.g. onboard contact tracing, improved air sanitation, and enhanced onboard medical capability
- New ships are more appealing: new health & safety measures, greater ROIs (through optimization of operating expenses), compliance with increasingly stringent environmental regulations
