A passenger ship is a merchant ship whose primary function is to carry passengers on the sea. Passenger ships include ocean liners, which typically are passenger or passenger-cargo vessels transporting passengers and often cargo on longer line voyages. They also include cruise ships, which often transport passengers on round-trips, in which the trip itself and the attractions of the ship and ports visited are the principal draw.
Passenger Intensity is a month-by-month, computer generated data layer showing a 'heat map' of main passenger cruise line traffic. The shipping simulation considers passenger cruises lines both within the North Sea region as well as coming in and out of the entire North Sea region.
Note that we have separated passenger and ferry lines.
The shipping simulation follows this logic:
