DARWIN Port Corporation ceoTerry O’Connor provided anentertaining presentation duringlast week’s Cruise Down Underconference.
O’Connor familiarisedattendees with NT customs,saying it was very rare forDarwin locals to dress formally.
“In fact, the only time most ofus wear a tie is when you’re incourt,” he said - indicating hisown neckwear.
He said that it was appropriatefor him to be wearing a tie at theconference because “as a portoperator appearing before acruise company audience I feel abit like I’m in court today”.
O’Connor also gave an insightinto the mindset of northern
Australians and why Darwinis likely to have a very bright
cruising future.“To the south of us are just
22 million people - the samedistance to the north there are360 million,” he said.
Presenting after NSW PortsCorporation chief Grant Gilllan,O’Connor also enjoyed pokingfun at the limited facilities inSydney Harbour, with Darwin’scruise terminal already set up towelcome some of the biggestcruise ships in the world - and
cope with more than one cruiseship alongside at a time.
