Description
This final report provides the main findings on the challenges and market opportunities that face the shipbuilding and marine equipment industry in view of the above developments. Eight greening trends are addressed, covering both market, regulatory and other factors. For each trend, the resulting market potential is estimated, along with barriers identified that may affect the reaping of this potential. It also elaborates the current state of green technology developments within each market identified and the role of EU and competitor industries in providing these technologies. Policy measures taken by individual countries inside and outside the EU as well as at EU level to target the green market opportunities are identified and compared as to provide a solid basis for defining actions and directions in Europe that enable ceasing existing market opportunities. This report is built on an extensive market consultation process through in-depth interviews with over 35 stakeholders, complemented with a review of the state of the art literature and a stakeholder workshop. As such it is not a statistical analysis, or an academic or political analysis, but it represents an in-depth insight based on key market actors and industry players. |
