Corporate Events on Board:  Maximizing Efficiency with ATA Carnets

To highlight the diverse applications of ATA Carnets within the cruise industry, we are presenting a series of blog posts.  Previously, we have explored their use for art, live entertainment, music, and jewelry on board.  In this installment, we focus on the vital role of ATA Carnets for corporate meetings and events held aboard cruise ships.  ATA Carnets are an essential “trade tool” accommodating this important feature of the cruise industry.
 

Tailored Corporate Events at Sea

Whether chartering an entire ship or planning a specially focused event for a select group, cruise lines specialize in creating a unique and personalized experience for corporate clients.  The versatile spaces on board can be customized to accommodate the theme and objectives of the event.  Cruise ships utilize their unique expertise by assisting with the planning, promotion, and itineraries of corporate events and destination meetings on board. 

Events can be tailored to feature special performances, guest speakers, and unique team building activities that are aligned with the event’s purpose.  ATA Carnets are utilized for specialized equipment and display items used for decoration, exhibition, and guest interaction.  This can include a carnival carousel, a rock-climbing wall, high-tech lighting technology, a surfing wave pool, DJ equipment, custom-branded display paraphernalia, and more—all to ensure a successful event experience.
 

ATA Carnets Streamline Customs Clearance

ATA Carnets are indispensable in enabling the smooth transport of event essentials.  The ATA Carnet facilitates the temporary export of merchandise and equipment by allowing for the avoidance of import- duty and -tax payment and creates ease clearing customs.  ATA Carnets streamline movement of goods through multiple border crossings on a cruise itinerary, ensuring cost-effectiveness and efficiency at each port.

The ATA Carnet is an internationally accepted customs document for temporarily exported merchandise or goods.  It allows cross border movement of those goods import-duty and -tax free into 90+ carnet countries and territories for up to a year.  The ATA Carnet is known as the Merchandise Passport for boomerang freight® and ideal for Commercial Samples, Professional Equipment, and Goods for Display at Trade Fairs and Exhibitions.  At the end of the year, all the items listed on the carnet return to the country of origin, thus the term boomerang freight.
