Carnival Corporation Adds Third Berth to Cozumel Pier
Carnival Corporation on Oct. 8 officially opened an expansion of its operations in Cozumel, Mexico, adding a third berth to the company's pier at Puerta Maya. With an investment of more than $20 million, the all-new "arm" was added to the company's existing pier to allow three ships to be moored at the terminal at the same time. To mark the occasion, three of the company's ships – Carnival Breeze, Carnival Freedom and Carnival Triumph – arrived today and became the first trio of ships to use the new three-berth pier. The pier will accommodate any ship across Carnival Corporation's 10 brands, including its next-generation ships. With 3.3 million cruise guests annually, Cozumel is the busiest cruise destination in the Caribbean. Carnival Corporation's extra capacity with the expanded pier will allow more ships to call on Cozumel, increasing the number of guests who can visit the destination while also providing a significant economic boost to the local economy. In 2014, about 1.5 million Carnival Corporation guests visited Puerta Maya on 25 different ships originating from eight homeports and two countries across six of the company's brands, and the company expects this to grow over the years with the added capacity at the port. http://www.cruiseindustrynews.com/cruise-news/13136.html
