Economic Impact Soars
The community impact from Port activities has grown
dramatically in the past three years. Job creation rose nearly 30
percent. Local purchasing climbed almost 50 percent. Revenue
generated for local businesses escalated by about 75 percent.
“The success of Port Canaveral is the
success of the community,” said Tom
Weinberg, Chairman of the Board of
Commissioners. “As we celebrate 60
years, we continue our commitment
and understand our responsibility as an
efficient, consistent economic engine for
central Florida.”
The growth statistics were revealed in
the 2012 Economic Impact Study of Port
Canaveral by Martin and Associates. The
new study updates the 2009 report and
clearly shows how the Port’s business
expansion has been translated into
powerful growth for the local economy.
Impact-Generating
Activities
The studies measured the local, regional
and state economic impacts generated
from the Port’s cargo and cruise business,
marinas and real estate activity.
Cargo includes petroleum, salt aggregates,
limestone, concentrated juices and other
cargo moving through the Port.
Cruise includes homeported ships,
port-of-calls and daily gaming voyages.
Impacts include those on the local tourist
industry as well as on the region’s airports.
Marina activity includes recreational
boats that are moored at private marinas
on Port-leased land, as well as transient
boating activity at these harbor and
barge canal facilities.
Real estate activity comes from the
offices, restaurants, retail stores, and the
industrial and recreational operations
located on property leased from the Port.
For the 2012 study, 100 percent of the
294 firms engaged in these activities plus
1,100 cruise passengers and ship crew
were interviewed.
17,000 Jobs
Port activity creates four levels of
employment impact. Some jobs are
generated directly by the activities. Most
of these are local and would disappear
if the Port’s facilities were closed.
Direct employment includes truckers,
steamship agents, terminal operators,
stevedores, construction workers, hotel
workers, servers, cab drivers, retail store
clerks, boat mechanics and employees of
tenant businesses.
These directly employed workers spend
their wages locally on goods and services
such as food, housing and clothing,
thereby creating induced jobs throughout
the region and state. Indirect jobs are
created due to purchases of goods and
services by firms rather than individuals.
The total number of direct, induced and
indirect jobs created by Port activity
in 2012 was 16,983, nearly 8,000 of
which were direct jobs. Cargo created
3,381 total jobs; cruise created 11,017;
marinas created 390; and real estate
created 2,195.
The fourth category of jobs is not entirely
dependent upon the seaport, but does
reflect the importance of Port Canaveral
to local firms. These are jobs with firms
using the cargo terminals to ship and
receive cargo.
$808 Million in
Personal Income
Overall, Port activities generated
$807,960,000 in personal earnings
impact, with the greatest impact – $482
million – coming from cruise activity.
This impact is the measure of employee
wages and salaries for direct jobs plus
the portion of these earnings re-spent
within the region and state on goods
and services (the spending that creates
the induced jobs impact).
$2 Billion in
Business Revenue
Businesses providing services at the
Port-owned marine cargo and cruise
terminals and marinas, as well as to real
estate tenants, received nearly $2 billion,
excluding the price of homeported
cruises. Of all the categories of impact,
2
May/June 2013 PORT CANAVERAL

ECONOMIC IMPACT STUDY
this one has increased the most in the
past three years, rising from $1.14 billion
in 2009.
Even without including the cost of
cruises, cruise activity had the largest
impact by far in this category, producing
$1.6 billion in business revenue in 2012.
The business revenue generated by Port
activity is dispersed further throughout
the economy in multiple ways. It is
used to employ people, pay Port leases
and wharfage and dockage fees, make
tax payments and purchase goods and
services. In 2012, this included $248
million in local purchasing. Ultimately,
the impacts generated from the Port’s
activities ripple outwards to positively
affect nearly every area of the local and
regional economy.
$74 Million in State
and Local Taxes
One of the ways in which the Port
impact spreads is through generation of
tax revenue, which is spent throughout
the region on projects that contribute
to the public welfare. This tax impact
includes tax payments to governments
by firms and by individuals whose jobs
are supported by Port and Port tenant
activities. The 2012 tax impact rose by
$26 million or almost 55 percent over
2009, reflecting the increased impacts
on business income, personal income
and total jobs.

impacts of Port Canaveral, including

local economy and the specific impacts

tall ships DRAW THOUSANDS
This May, not one, but two
special ships visited Port
Canaveral to commemorate
the 500th anniversary of the
landing of Spanish explorer
Juan Ponce de Leon on
Florida’s east coast. Both
made multiple stops at the
state’s Atlantic seaports
as part of Florida’s Viva
500 celebration, but Port
Canaveral was the only
Florida port to host both
graceful tall ships at the
same time.
Cannons For
Protection Only
The first tall ship to arrive was the Galeón
Andalucía. Jetty Park is a popular site
from which to watch new ships enter
the harbor, but El Galeón created more
excitement than usual when she arrived
on the morning of May 1 for a 12-day
visit. Only a few bars of appropriate
swashbuckling music were needed to
convince watchers they had stumbled
into a pirate movie.
Six years of research went into
designing the Galeón to replicate a
17th century Spanish merchant ship.
Fundación Nao Victoria, a Spanish
non-profit organization dedicated to
maritime history, designed the ship and
constructed it in 2008-2010. Beneath
the gleaming wooden outer skin lies a
fiberglass-polyester hull and the sails
have a safety backup – a modern ship’s
engine – but the visible details were
designed for historical accuracy.
Educational Treasure
The Galeón is 180 feet long, with six
decks, three masts and a crew of about
25. From her seven billowing sails and
spider web of rigging to the 12 cannons
on her gun deck (for protection during
trade voyages to the New World), the
fine furnishings of the captain’s quarters
and her replicated map collection, the
Galeón is a lesson in history.
Among the many visitors who took
advantage of the opportunity to tour
this unique ship were more than 4,000
Brevard County fourth- and fifth-graders
who, in conjunction with the Port’s
EMBARK program, explored the vessel
while it was docked in The Cove.
Royal Trainer
The next special vessel to arrive was
nearly 200 feet longer than the smaller
Galeón, built of modern steel and billed
as the third tallest ship in the world. From
May 8-10, the Juan Sebastián de Elcano,
4
May/June 2013 PORT CANAVERAL

a training ship for the Royal Spanish
Navy, docked at Cruise Terminal 3 on the
Port’s south side and opened its gangway
to a reception of invited guests, students
and the general public for free tours.
Built in 1927, the Elcano has been a
training site for generations of Spanish
military officers. The four-masted
schooner has 20 sails, which take the
crew up to two hours to hoist. When
the sails fully are deployed, the ship is
transformed into a graceful waterborne
creature covered in billowing white
feathers. Inside, the Elcano is filled
with 20th century history and maritime
technology.
$4.3 Million
Economic Impact
The Port Canaveral tall ship visits were
designated as signature events in the
Viva Florida 500 celebration, receiving
widespread statewide publicity from
the Florida Department of Tourism and
attracting tens of thousands of visitors.
It was hosted by the National Air, Sea
and Space Foundation, an educational
non-profit organization founded in 2010
and based in Cocoa Beach. Foundation
Chairman and event organizer Bryan
Lilley estimated the event attracted more
than 45,000 people, including 18,500
overnight visitors, and brought $4.3
million into the local tourism economy
through hotel stays, food and beverage
sales and other visitor spending.
“This is an opportunity that doesn’t
come very often,” said Kalina Subido-
Spanish Royal Navy training ship, Juan Sebastián de Elcano
Person, director of marketing for the
Space Coast Office of Tourism. “It’s a
coup for our area.”
“It’s a perfect example of the way in
which this Port can serve as a venue
for very special events that pull in large
numbers of visitors. The recent Super
Boat races were another example,”
commented Port Authority Secretary/
Treasurer Frank Sullivan. “We are excited
to open our doors for events like this that
both entertain and financially benefit our
community.”

One
nchanted
Morning
At dawn on April 25, for
the first time in four years,
a new Royal Caribbean
International (RCI) ship
joined the Canaveral home
fleet, alongside Freedom of
the Seas. “We’re grateful
for the great partnership
we’ve had with RCI since
2000,” said Port CEO
John Walsh. “Now they’ve
shown us their continuing
support by bringing us
Enchantment of the Seas.”
A Vision of Cruise
Enjoyment
Enchantment of the Seas, a
2,446-passenger Vision-class ship, has an
array of attractions for cruise enthusiasts,
including the largest pool deck in the
Royal Caribbean line. She arrived fresh
from a December revitalization that
added a new complimentary casual
dining option, a Royal Babies and Tots
Nursery, the retro-inspired R-Bar, and a
technology upgrade that includes bowto-stern
WiFi, flat-screen televisions in all
staterooms, and fun, interactive digital
signage throughout the ship.
In common with other Vision-class ships,
she also features a rock-climbing wall,
bungee trampoline, Vitality Day Spa and
Fitness Center, and many first-class dining
and entertainment choices.
The ship sails every Monday and Friday on
3- and 4-day itineraries calling at private
CocoCay island and Nassau, Bahamas.
“Reflections,” a stainless-steel sculpture created by George Cutts. “This sculpture was inspired
by the gentle sway of waves and designed specifically to create an atmosphere of tranquillity.
When at sea the gentle rise and fall of the waves are mesmerising and calming, George Cutts’
concept was to re-create and capture this effect. The highly polished stainless-steel columns
will catch the sunlight as they rotate reflecting the illusion of the light sparkling on the ever
undulating sea surface. The speed of the columns are essential — too fast and it is disturbing,
too slow and it is in-effectual and so, after many months of experimentation, the speed at
6RPM captures this magnificent spectacle.”
President Mark Hayes and Vice President
Marisol Aleman of Cruise Elite, Inc.,
Ormond Beach, Florida, a travel agent
couple who met originally on Royal
Caribbean, were so enthusiastic about
the debut voyage of Enchantment at this
Port that they booked 200 members of
the Brevard County Retired Educators
6
May/June 2013 PORT CANAVERAL

on it and tried out the ship along with
them. (Watch their video in the electronic
version of this magazine.)
Two veteran cruiser couples in the
Retired Educators group had positive
things to say about all aspects of the
new ship. “I enjoyed the rooms,”
said Patsy Shearer. “Lots of storage
and space.” “The entertainment was
phenomenal,” according to her husband
Bill. Dick Murrell praised the Centrum as
“awesome,” while his wife Judy said,
“And as for the reason most of us love
cruising, the food was exceptional and
our waiter was great.”
An Exchange of Praise
When the ship returned from its first
voyage on Monday, April 29, a traditional
Plaque and Key Exchange ceremony was
held onboard with representatives from
the Port, tourism sector and community
leaders welcoming the ship and its crew
to the Space Coast.
Enchantment Captain Gus Andersson
reminisced about his first command at
Port Canaveral as captain of Mariner of
the Seas and the special character of the
area and its people. He told the story of
a crewmember who had been stranded
at a local mall without a ride back to the
ship. When she didn’t report on time,
word went out to local officials and
a deputy sheriff located her and gave
her a ride back to her ship. “This is the
only place I know of where that would
happen,” said Captain Andersson. He
also endeared himself to his audience by
referring to Port Canaveral as “the finest
Port ever!”
“We’re very glad to welcome Captain
Andersson back, with this beautiful
ship under his command,” said Port
Commission Chairman Tom Weinberg.
Other local leaders added their praise
and gratitude to Royal Caribbean and to
Port Canaveral for providing economic
opportunities for local businesses and
job seekers.
Big (Next-Generation-
Size) Announcements
A major topic of conversation among
attendees at the Plaque Exchange
was the future of Royal Caribbean’s
commitment to Port Canaveral. Would
there be more ships coming More
port-of-call visitors More homeported
stars The Viking Crown Lounge buzzed
with speculation.
In fact, the cruise line had announced just
days before that a massive $925 million
cruise ship now under construction in
Germany will make port-of-call stops at
Port Canaveral when it begins sailing
from New York to the Bahamas in fall
2014. With a full capacity of 4,905,
Quantum of the Seas will be among
the world’s largest cruise ships, with an
economic impact on par with its size.
A few weeks later, long-term negotiation
efforts by the Port Authority bore fruit
as Royal Caribbean announced it would
base a third ship, Explorer of the Seas,
at the Port in the winter of 2014-15,
to test the waters for expanded service
from the Space Coast. The cruise line
has not announced the homeport of
its planned third Oasis-class ship or its
second Quantum-class ship. “If one of
these huge ships could be homeported
here, it would be a great boon to our
local economy,” said Port Authority Vice-
Chairman Jerry Allender.

Not many fishing boats have name
recognition, but the Hannah Boden and
her bright green hull are recognizable
to movie-goers and TV reality show
fans. In February and April this year, the
famous boat could be seen at the dock
of Seafood Atlantic fish market, in her
role as a true working vessel.
‘Perfect Storm’ to ‘Life
on the Line’
The Hannah Boden was commissioned
in 1983 as a long-line swordfishing
boat. She first came to public notice as
the sister ship of the Andrea Gail, the
swordfishing vessel lost at sea in October
1991 to the hurricane labeled by weather
forecasters as “The Perfect Storm.” The
Hannah Boden and her captain at the
time, Linda Greenlaw, were featured as
characters in the 2000 movie, starring
George Clooney, about that storm.
Greenlaw became famous in her own
right as the only female swordfishing
boat captain on the East Coast of the
United States at the time.
The high profiles of captain and ship
motivated the Discovery Channel to
include them in a reality series entitled
“Swords: Life on the Line” about life and
work aboard various swordfishing vessels.
The Hannah Boden and her captain and
crew were featured as one of the vessels
of the show’s third season in 2010.
Famous
SHip
visit
Back to Basics
Celebrity or not, the Hannah Boden was
first and foremost a working fishing
vessel and today, she continues to ply
her trade, captained by a veteran of the
industry, Captain Jim Horne. Horne and
Atlantic Seafood owner Jim Busse “go
way back,” said Busse. “Horne is one
of the best fishermen around.” Horne
returned the compliment. ” Busse is
great to work with because he knows
our business, having been a part of it.” In
fact, Busse himself captained the Hannah
Boden at one point in her varied history.
Horne and his five-man crew spent two
months at sea pursuing their catch.
Swordfishing is generally a cooperative
effort. The vessels that go out for the
season communicate via computers and
satellite with each other, working together
to locate concentrations of the valuable
fish. There are enough to go around.
In 2009, the North Atlantic swordfish
stocks were declared fully rebuilt, and the
healthy stocks are harvested responsibly
by fishermen whose livelihood depends
on preserving their viability.
When she came into Port in April, the
Hannah Boden’s hold was full and Busse
purchased it all – 25,000 pounds of fresh
swordfish. Unloading this much fish is
an undertaking requiring four full hours
of manual labor to complete. The fish,
which were packed in ice immediately
after they were caught, had to be taken
from the hold one at a time, pulled up by
a cable with a scale attached to weigh
it and swung over to the land-side crew
that packed each fish in a locker of ice.
When a locker was full, it was loaded
onto a truck and the crew started filling
the next locker.
Not only were the fish individually
weighed, but also individually numbered
and recorded in the 15 seconds they spent
off the ice between boat and locker. These
large specimens weighed between 70 and
400 pounds dressed. Before the head, tail
and fins were removed, they would have
weighed about forty percent more.
A few of the fish from the Hannah
Boden remained at Seafood Atlantic,
to be sold to local customers. The rest
were wholesaled and shipped north
immediately to Massachusetts markets.
A Valuable
Heritage Survives
At the same time the swordfish were
being unloaded from the Hannah Boden,
a load of mahi also was being discharged
at Seafood Atlantic’s docks.
“It’s great to see all of this activity,” said
Port Authority Commissioner John Evans.
“Commercial fishing is an important
part of our heritage and the continuing
presence of the commercial fishing
industry at Port Canaveral is important to
our community.”

Super boats roar
back to the port
The Fourth Annual Thunder on the Beach Space Coast Super
Boat Grand Prix made a large splash on the coastline of Brevard
County and at the Port, where the dry pits of Race Village have
been located for all four years. Events stretched from May
17 through Race Day on May 20 and included a powerboat
parade, racer meet-and-greets, entertainment and VIP parties
at The Cove, adjacent to Race Village.
This second leg of the popular 2013 Super Boat International
Series drew boats and spectators to visit the Space Coast.
Participation and spectatorship have grown dramatically since
the event was established, from 16 race boats the first year to
35 boats in eight categories this year and from 30,000 race
spectators to nearly 65,000.
The large-scale event has a significant economic impact on
local businesses, including restaurants, hotels, gas stations and
retailers. A portion of the VIP ticket proceeds will be donated to
a local charity, the Space Coast Cancer Foundation.
CONSTRUCTION and
ENGINEERING studentS
field trips
In April, two groups of students from Florida Institute of Technology
(FIT) enjoyed field trips to Port construction sites. About a dozen
Construction Management students toured on the 12 th , followed
by about 25 Engineering students two weeks later.
The field trips began last year when a former professor of Port
Engineer and FIT alumna Christine Hartnett contacted her with
the idea. Hartnett arranged for the first group of students to
visit the building site of Cruise Terminal 6, since completed.
This year, students observed construction work on the north
cargo piers and visited the site of the rising seven-story visitors
and community facility.
