The International Council of Cruise Lines (ICCL) celebrates its 15th anniversary in 2005 and will debut a one-time magazine highlighting the regulatory landscape of the cruise industry during Seatrade Cruise Shipping Convention March 15-18, 2005, in Miami Beach.

The ICCL’s 15th anniversary magazine, published by Euromoney Institutional Investor PLC, parallels the mission of the trade association, which is to promote measures that foster a safe, secure and healthy ship board environment. The magazine highlights the issues facing the cruise industry and demonstrates how government, cruise lines and legislators work together in the areas of safety, security, environment and health. It also looks at the industry’s economic growth and outlook and the Cruise Industry Charitable Foundation.

“The industry veteran and newcomer alike will learn something about the cruise industry through the ICCL’s 15th anniversary magazine,” said Michael Crye, ICCL president. “Editorial contribution from the top officials at the International Maritime Organization and U.S. Coast Guard prove the valuable partnerships the cruise industry has with these regulatory agencies, which is imperative to our future success,” he said.

“We are proud of how the cruise industry has evolved over the past 15 years and the social responsibility it takes on the issues,” said Crye. “The ICCL is looking forward to serving the cruise industry through the years and challenges to come.”

Incorporated in Washington, D.C., on November 21, 1990, the ICCL is a successor to previous industry groups such as the International Committee of Passenger Lines and Ad Hoc Committee of European Passenger Lines established in the 1960s.
