Cruise shipping supply chains have unique characteristics and require customized procurement practices. The sustainability of these practices is examined through contract dynamics, including sourcing patterns, consumption patterns, pricing, and delivery patterns. The disruptions caused by hurricanes in the Caribbean highlight the challenges the cruise industry faces in reconciling climate change risks with sustainable supply chains.
Cruise shipping supply chains have unique characteristics where product and service providers accommodate stringent requirements related to the nature of the cruise product. Since cruise ships are floating resorts that must be resupplied during their short port rotations, they require customized procurement practices. The sustainability of such practices is investigated through the lenses of contract dynamics among actors, including sourcing patterns, consumption patterns, pricing, and delivery patterns. The disruptions caused by hurricanes in the Caribbean underline the challenge the industry is facing at reconciling the risks of climate change with sus-tainable cruise supply chains.
