6,400 tourists will disembark from the MSC flagship in the port of Naples every Monday. In total, more than 550 thousand cruise passengers will travel to the Neapolitan port during the year. Very optimistic forecasts from the MSC group which also wanted to measure the economic impact produced by its various activities: an impact that exceeds half a billion thanks to activities linked to cruises, ferries, cargo, logistics, terminals and shipbuilding and ship repairs, port services and professional training.
On the day in which MSC Crociere’s summer season officially kicks off in Naples with the arrival in port of the flagship of the fleet, the MSC World Europa, the company renews MSC Crociere’s commitment to the territory by confirming the completion of the hiring plan long-term in the Naples office of 600 young people between 2020 and 2024.
Very favorable moment for Naples
The day was celebrated with a press conference on board attended by the Councilor for Tourism and Productive Activities of the Municipality of Naples, Teresa Armato, who highlighted the extremely favorable moment for tourism in Naples, a city which is recording an unprecedented boom. Doing the honors were the ship’s Commander Sebastiano Chrisam and the Commercial Director of MSC Crociere Luca Valentini, who underlined the link between the Neapolitan capital and the Company. “
«In addition to our flagship, which like last year will dock in Naples every Monday, in the coming weeks MSC Divina will also arrive every Thursday and MSC Grandiosa every Saturday» underlined Luca Valentini, commercial director of MSC Crociere. «With these three of our ships we will move over 16,000 people into port on average every week, a real record that testifies to the particular bond that MSC Crociere has with this territory.
Hiring underway for 600 young people
The link between the Company and the Campania region goes far beyond the presence of ships in the port of Naples. In fact, to cope with the continuous growth of the fleet, which did not stop even during the pandemic period, MSC Crociere has strengthened its presence in Naples year following year, increasing the number of employees and making important investments for the expansion and the technological adaptation of the historic headquarters in Via Depretis. Since 2020, the hiring plan has seen the entry of approximately 530 young people and by the end of this year another 70 will arrive, for a total of 600 new fixed-term and permanent hires in just 4 years. The 70 profiles that the company intends to hire by December will have to be inserted mainly in the IT, Finance and Sales & Marketing areas. For the management of maritime personnel who work on the 22 ships in the fleet, MSC Crociere also has an office in Sorrento with a Training Center which is considered a structure of excellence, also equipped with a futuristic navigation simulator, where training and refresher courses for all the officers of the MSC fleet are organised.
