You are joking but I bet prices of everything do spike geographically near where this boat ports, the sailors are problably going to have consumption rates of 2-3x and normal person so thats like 10k-15k visitor influx.

This would mean nothing to a city of a million but a city of 30k who knows.

I am just speculating I know nothing in specifics feel free to disregard.
