The cruise industry is under increasing regulatory pressure, particularly in the fields of safety and the environment. Wilhelmsen Ships Service, Wilhelmsen Ships Equipment and Wilhelmsen Marine Engineering are leading suppliers to the cruise industry. Membership in CLIA is an expression of their wish to stay on top of new legislation.
Philip Bannerman, Wilhelmsen Ships Service’s Sales Director for the Americas explains. “CLIA is the main organisation representing the interests of the cruise industry to governmental legislators. New legislation will impact our current product offering and create new opportunities. It is crucial for us to stay on top of this. Participation in CLIA technical forums and committees will allows us to share our expertise in the fields of safety & the environmental and help us shape future product offers towards the industry.”
CLIA describes its Executive Partners as progressive organisations that assist the cruise industry to increase passenger satisfaction and to provide a safe, environmentally sound and socially sustainable vacation product.
