It would be nice to see any information on that. Something to the effect of, hiring X amount of people and providing paid training.
It would probably be feasible to relocate a hand full of people to run the show and not worry about the locals.
I have no clue how many people it will take to run the Port from a management position but there can't be that many people needed. Maybe 2 handfuls of baggage handlers... It would be really interesting to know this kind of info. Anyone?
Thinking , if ships actually do come, and that is not a given by far. One could take the condo rental market as sort of a model of what kind of work might be created. Keep in mind this is to be a home port where they embark and disembark. I guess there might be two different goups of employees, those at the port and those on the ship. They might have different employers, the port managers and the cruise ship managers.
Vacationers arrive and stay for a predetermined period, in a very restricted place on the ship. They eat, drink, sleep, party and create all the trash and stuff that those activities generate. This stuff, except for the poo apparently, is stored on the ship and the food and drinks are consumed. During this period the onboard crew serves, and cleans as needed. At the end of their vacation they leave and leave behind, trash, dirty linnen, dirty staterooms, dirty public areas, hallways decks, bars, restaurant. The trash has to be removed and hauled away, the linnens replaced with clean and the dirty stuff washed for reuse. Food and drink has to be delivered, loaded and stored. These activities might be carried out by the land crew. I would guess that they will try to have a short time in dock as that is dead time for income. Seems to me the in port crew might be larger than the on ship crew given the logistics involved. The in port crew will prolly not work much while the ship is crusing. So plug people into the kinds of work created if I am thinking right. You can prolly come up with some modifications to my thinking.
