The Kyushu Transport Bureau released its projection for planned port calls in Kyushu for 2011 by overseas cruise ships. They expect 120 separate port calls for the entire region during the year, a decline of 32 (21%) from the previous year. Of the total, 55 will be for the Port of Hakata. One reason cited for the decline is that an Italian company operating two cruise ships from China is shifting them to the popular Mediterranean cruise line.
