Cruise liner talks in Taiwan

More than 1,000 members of the China Ports Association will hold talks in Taiwan on cross-strait cruise liner transport, according to a statement released by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MOTC) in Taiwan.
The 1,300 delegates were scheduled to arrive Wednesday in the southern Taiwan port of Kaohsiung from Xiamen in Fujian province aboard the Costa Romantica cruise vessel. They are mostly representatives of port operators from Shanghai, Nanjing, Ningbo and Wuhan.
Focus Taiwan reported that the delegates, along with the directors-general of Kaohsiung, Taichung, Keelung and Hualien harbors, will attend a forum for discussions — the first of their kind — of issues regarding cross-strait voyages by cruise ships.
