This report, issued pursuant to the Council Resolution of 19 September 1978, is aimed at 
providing an overview of the sttpbuflcing industry and market in 1993. 
The report sets out the main features of the year, namely : 
* a comparatively larger increase (+ 3,1 %) frian in 1992 in the tonne-mile volume of 
seaborne trade, with a similar increase (+ 2,9 %) in world fleet tonnage; 
* continued steady growth in deliveries (in cgt) of new vessels, with an increase of 
about 2 %; 
* a fairly marked revival (+ 64,7 %) in the demand for new vessels, and a significant 
increase (+10 %) in order book volume. 
II. GENERAL ECONOMIC BACKGROUND 
In 1993, world economic activity remained depressed, with world GDP increasing as in 
the preceding year by only 1,6 % in real terms. This was largely the result of a recession 
in the Community, which experienced a decline of 0,3 % in GDP, contrasting with a 
moderate expansion in the rest of the world (+ 2,3 %). The differing European and world 
performances were essentially due to the recovery in the USA and to the substantial 
growth registered in the non-OECD countries, especially those of South-East Asia and 
Latin America. Japan and most of the other OECD countries, on the other hand, 
registered unsatisfactory growth figures. 
The divergence in the GDP performances is mirrored in the trade figures. The combined 
imports of the rest of the world increased by more than 8 % in real terms, while EU 
imports from the rest of the world declined by about 3 %. 
Economic recovery is currently under way in the Community. Buoyant exports and more 
dynamic investment are expected to produce a GDP expansion of 1,5 % in 1994 and 
2,5% in 1995. The main factors underlying the more upbeat growth outlook are a 
favourable international economic environment, a further decline in short-term interest 
rates in the Community, a restoration of business and consumer confidence and benign 
household saving behaviour. 
Output outside the Community is expected to accelerate further to above 3 % in 1994 and 
around 3,5% in 1995. Economic activity should be expanding at a healthy 3% in 
industrialized countries outside the EU and even faster in developing countries, 
particularly the dynamic Asian economies, China and Latin America. Output growth is 
also expected to pick up in a number of Central and Eastern European countries, but 
continued adjustment problems are likely to weigh down on economic activity in the 
former Soviet Union. 
In line with these relatively buoyant growth prospects, imports into non-EU countries are 
expected to rise at a strong pace of some 8 % (in volume terms) per year up to the end of 
1995. The rapid expansion of world trade reflects the continuing strength of imports in 
North America, the dynamic Asian economies, China and Latin America. The growing 
trade of the Central and Eastern European countries (excluding the former USSR) reflects 
stronger integration with Western Europe. Overall, the expected growth of non-EU 
markets for Community exports of goods should amount to some 7 % (in volume terms) 
in both 1994 and 1995. 
III. SHIPPING TRENDS 
Seaborne trade has been on the increase since 1985. 
In tonne-miles the increase was 3,1 % on the 1992 figure, giving a total of 18.800 billion 
tonne-miles.

Overall, liquid cargo increased by 5,1 %; 4,0 % in oil and 9,(3. % in petroleum products. 
The trend for dry cargo goods was not so uniform : on the one hand, iron ore increased 
by 2,3 %, and, on the other hand, coal and grain fell by 2,3 % and 4,7 % respectively. 
Concerning other shipments for the year 1993, there was a growth of 4,1 %, which was 
1 % greater than that of 1992.

As regards volume, the trend in seaborne trade continued in spite of a smaller increase 
(2,4 %) and reached 4,318 billion tonnes at the end of 1993 compared to the 4,215 billion 
tonnes of the previous year.

To a certain extent freight rates for petroleum products recovered from the poor 
performance in 1992. There were gains of about 40 % for VLCCs, 65 % for Suezmax 
and 60 % for Aframax tankers. 
Dry cargo ships had freight rates which, on average, were higher than those of the 
previous year. Nevertheless, after the favourable trend during the first half year, sluggish 
market activity led to a considerable reduction in rates towards the end of the year.

IV. FLEET TRENDS 
At the end of 1993 the world fleet was 458 million gt, which represents an increase of 
2,9 % on the 1992 figure and confirms-the upward trend started in 1989. 
This rise is largely due to new tankers and dry-cargo carriers completed in the course of 
the year and to the still low level of tonnage scrapped (10,2 million gt in 1993 and 
10,7 million gt in 1992).

The average age of the world fleet rose from 17 years in 1992 to 18 years in 1993. 
In gross tonnage 18,7% of the fleet was at least 20 years old; 45,1 % of ships were 
between 10 and 19 years old and 17,4 % between 5 and 10 years old. 
The balance between supply and demand for tonnage continued to show signs of slight 
improvement which was clear in the case of tankers but to a much lesser extent in the 
case of dry-cargo carriers. 
The Community fleet grew by 2,3% reaching 65 million gt; this was mainly due to the 
expansion of the Greek fleet (* 13,2 %). 
In spite of this expansion the Community's share of the world fleet declined once again, 
albeit slightly, to 14,2 % at the end of the year.

V. SITUATION IN THE SHIPBUILDING INDUSTRY 
A) central overview 
Production and new orders 
Whilst remaining higher than 12 million cgt, world production increased by only 
2,2% on the 1992 figure. This reflects, among other things, the fact that most 
shipyards are tending to consolidate the position they hold in the world market whilst 
continuing in their drive for investment, especially in technology aimed at 
strengthening and improving their productivity and international competitiveness 
(particular note should be taken of Japanese shipyards).

Note : From 1980 on data for the EU includes production from Ex-GDR yards. 
As far as new orders are concerned, however, there was a definite upturn 
(+64,7%) in 1993, which contrasts to the decline in 1991 and 1992 (16,7% and 
26 % respectively) and the sluggishness of 1990. The increase in new orders was 
stimulated by a series of factors such as the constant ageing of the fleet (average 
18 years old), short-term prospects for a general economic upturn, more of a 
balance between supply and demand in shipping and, due to falling prices, a certain 
propensity on the part of shipowners to place orders; the fall in orders in 1992 led to 
a general price reduction of about 10 %.

SERVICES 
Note : From 1980 on data for the EU includes new orders from Ex-GDR yards. 
This increase in new orders focused particularly on the tonnage of bulk and goods 
carriers. The demand for tankers, whilst being maintained, did not increase 
significantly. Shipbuilders' marked propensity for good carriers in 1992 could be 
partly explained by the fact that shipyards in the Far East - the "price leaders" for 
these types of ships - pursued a particularly agressive price policy at the beginning 
of the year. 
Order books 
Due to the increase in orders for new ships the world order book volume rose by 
almost 10%. This tonnage should ensure, especially with respect to large 
shipyards, a work load equivalent to an average of 2 years of the production 
recorded in the year under consideration : more precisely, for Korea 2,6, the EU 2,1 
and Japan 1,3. These figures particularly highlight Korea's increasingly important 
role and position in the world. During 1993 Korea's market share, usually between 
about 13 and 15 %, exceeded 19 %. The Community experienced a slight increase 
(- 0,7 points) but did not suffer to the same extent as Japan (- 3,5 points) from the 
recent aggressive onslaught from the Korean shipyards.

Shipbuilding prices 
Available reference prices concerning Japanese and Korean shipyards - given in 
US dollars - above all reveal a continued downward trend for tankers (between 9 % 
and 10 % as opposed to the 11-13 % of 1992).

Cargo ships - the prices of which significantly decreased in 1992 and during the first 
months of 1993 - registered a slight improvement overall (between 3 and 6% in 
terms of tonnage) on the previous year. 
It is clear that Korea has been the "price leader" for almost all tankers and bulk 
carriers.

B) Situation in the Community. Japan and Korea 
The Community 
In the general context of the worldwide situation in the sector, the position in the 
Community industry was as follows : 
a reduction of 8,9 % in tonnage delivered. This tonnage nevertheless ensured 
a work load for all shipyards within the Union of about 80% in relation to 
production capacity in these shipyards (3,0 million cgt according to the 
OECD); 
a more than substantial increase (66,1 %) in new orders. This figure is 
greater than the world average (64,1 %) and, although not comparable to that 
of Korea (238,4 %), does exceed that of Japan (43,2 %). In this respect, it is 
important to emphasize that in the course of the year the Union secured about 
51 % of orders for non-cargo ships and almost all of the additional tonnage 
ordered (see table nr. 8) compared with 1992; 
10-
an improvement in the tonnage registered in the order books of 6,6 %, against 
a world average of 10%, a reduction of 3,3% for Japan and the South 
Korean record of 59,4%. Of this tonnage 53%, which amounts to 
5,4 million cgt, should be delivered in 1994, 32,1 % in 1995 and the remainder 
in 1996 and 1997 (see table nr. 10). 
The market share of shipyards in the Union shows a slight reduction, particularly in 
production, but remains clearly above 20 % if one takes into account performance 
as a whole (new orders, order books). 
Japan 
This country seems to have suffered particularly badly from the effects of the 
constant increase in the value of its currency in relation to the US dollar and the 
particularly dynamic policy implemented by the Korean shipyards. To guard against 
the consequences of the increased value of the yen - which since the introduction of 
the floating exchange system in 1973 has more than tripled in value in comparison 
to the US dollar -, the shipyards in this country plan to turn increasingly to external 
markets - notably Korea and Europe - to buy steel and necessary equipment in an 
attempt to reduce production costs as much as possible. 
In 1993 Japan saw its order books fall by 3,3 % on the previous year : it intends to 
maintain its position as "leader" at all cost and is increasingly basing its drive for 
success on finding the best technological use of its capacities. Its international 
focus is prompting it, among other things, to diversify its production towards 
openings for ships of greater added value with the ultimate aim of finding niches in 
which it can be a formidable competitor for the European shipyards. 
South Korea 
After its rather disappointing performance during 1992, the Korean industry, in a 
particularly aggressive way, has undoubtedly dominated the spectacular revival in 
new orders. It was responsible for almost 50 % of the increase in the tonnage 
ordered worldwide (between 1992 and 1993) and recorded an increase of 238,4 % 
in its orders. 
The shipyards in this country have taken full advantage of changes in currency 
parities (the increase in the value of the yen and the fall in the value of the won 
against the US dollar) to become the international "price leaders" particularly with 
regard to tankers and bulk carriers. They have not, however, neglected other types 
of more specialized ships such as containers and car carriers. 
Taking world orders as a whole, between 1992 and 1993, this country's share of the 
market more than doubled (12,3 % and 25,3 % respectively). 
It-
After the expiry on 31 December 1993 of the national rationalization plan, the 
Koreans envisage a vast expansion in their production capacities which would allow 
them - as it did about fifteen years ago - to have almost as much production 
potential as Japan does at present. In several forums (notably the OECD) the 
Union and other large producer countries have emphasized the unrealistic character 
of such a "targét-oriented" policy and the dangers of a new imbalance between 
supply and demand which can only lead to a new price war. 
VI. INTERNATIONAL ASPECTS 
Parallel to the internal policies, international efforts have been deployed since 1989 within 
the OECD framework to reach a multilateral agreement between the world's major 
shipbuilding nations on a rapid phasing-out of all direct and indirect public support 
measures to shipbuilding, ship conversion and ship repair and other obstacles to re­
establishing normal and fair competition conditions in the sector. The Commission was 
given its negotiating mandate by the Council in 1990, and agreement was reached on 
17 July 1994, meeting the main objectives of the European Union. The Agreement will 
entry into force on 1 January 1996, after signature, which is expected before the end of 
1995, and ratification by all participating countries. The EU has signed the Agreement on 
21 December 1994 after political approval by the Council. Other shipbuilding nations are 
invited to participate in this Agreement. 
This Agreement aims to eliminate all existing measures or practices which constitute 
obstacles to normal competitive conditions, namely direct and indirect support, anti­
competitive regulations and unfair practices. Home credit schemes were aligned with the 
terms and conditions of the Understanding on Export Credits and aid to Research and 
Development is subject to a specific discipline. Moreover, the Agreement establishes a 
new anti-dumping instrument, specific to ship transactions, i.e. the Injurious Pricing 
Instrument. Sanctions are provided for against shipbuilders entering in such practices. 
While the question of the level of capacity is not strictly covered by the scope of the 
Agreement, it is generally recognized by participating countries that any action that may 
lead to an increase in capacities not based on the realities of the market may result in the 
resurgence of a price war and proliferation of protectionist measures which of course are 
against the nature of the Agreement. In this context, the Commission, at the request of 
the industry and Member States, has insisted that all countries should refrain from 
increasing their shipbuilding capacity. Therefore, declaration on increases in capacities 
has been made on behalf of OECD Chairman, which was endorsed by all parties to the 
Agreement.

VII. INTERNAL POLICY 
A) Maritime Industries Forum 
Launched in 1991, the Maritime Industries Forum has now achieved 3 years of 
intensive, constructive and valuable dialogue between all parties concerned. 
The Forum brings together all maritime industries (shipping, shipbuilding, marine 
equipment, ports, fisheries and related industries and services), trade unions, 
research institutes, Member States, the European Parliament and the Economic 
and Social Committee, representatives of Member States, the Nordic EFTA 
countries and the European Commission. 
After having presented reports to the Commission in 1992 and 1993 at the plenary 
sessions in Genoa and Athens, the Forum continued its work focusing on : 
Short-Sea Shipping; 
Marine Resources; 
Ship Financing; 
Electronic Data Interchange. 
On the basis of the work of panels created with respect to these different issues, the 
Forum presented a further report to the Commission at its plenary session on 
20-21 June 1994 in Rotterdam. 
At this meeting, it was decided to continue the work on these issues and to hold 
another plenary session in mid-1995. 
The Commission participated actively in the dialogue with the Forum. After having 
given a political evaluation on the Athens report (1),the Commission presented at 
the Rotterdam meeting a progress report on actions and initiatives taken relating to 
recommendations made by the Forum in the Genoa and Athens reports in order to 
create a basis for the continuation of a dynamic dialogue.

the first tangible results". 
-13-
B) Research and development 
The 4th Framework Programme of Community activities in the field of research and 
technological development and demonstration (1994-1998) was adopted by the 
European Parliament and the Council on 26 April 1994 (2). Proposals for Council 
Decisions concerning the specific programmes implementing the 4th Framework 
Programme were submitted by the Commission on 30 March 1994 (3). The Council 
at its meeting of 27 June 1994 adopted the specific programmes on Industrial and 
Materials Technologies and on Communication Technologies. The remaining 
18 specific programmes have been adopted at the end of 1994. 
As compared with earlier Framework Programmes, many innovations have been 
introduced (transport, telematics, policy and optimisation strategies for short-sea 
shipping and inland waterways, technologies for surface transport means). 
In parallel with the formulation of the 4th Framework Programme, a series of 
interface meetings with representatives of the maritime industries were organized 
by the Commission. Valuable contributions, horizontally across the themes of the 
4th Framework Programme, were presented by industry, notably shipbuilders and 
the marine resources panel of the Maritime Industries Forum. 
C) Technical harmonization 
A Directive on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative 
provisions of the Member States relating to recreational craft was adopted by the 
European Parliament and the Council on 16 June 1994 (4). 
Informal consultations with Member States and industry on harmonization of the 
requirements for certain types of marine equipment and the uniform application of 
corresponding requirements set by the SOLAS and MARPOL International 
Conventions continued in 1993. The objective is to achieve equal high levels of 
safety and furthermore to ensure mutual recognition of approval tests within the 
Union. Because of the complexity of the issue, meetings are expected to continue 
in the coming year. In parallel the Commission has proposed a number of 
measures all having the enhancement of maritime safety and protection of the 
/ marine environment in common (Port State Control, Ship Inspection and Survey 
Organizations, Training for Maritime Occupations, Vessel Reporting System).

VIII. EMPLOYMENT 
During 1993 employment in shipbuilding in the Community declined overall by 11 %. 
This figure applies to all Member States except the Netherlands. 
The United Kingdom was most affected by the reduction (- 20 %), followed by Germany 
(-14 %), Italy (-13 %), Denmark (-12 %) and Portugal (-11 %). As far as Germany is 
concerned the reduction in the number of jobs in the new "Lander" (former GDR) is 28 % 
whilst the old "Lander" have a reduction of only 4 %. 
Finally, the RENAVAL Community programme of the European Regional Development 
Fund, which disposed of a budget of 300 MECU, came to an end in 1993. Launched in 
1988 by the Council (5), the programme was successful in assisting with the conversion of 
26 regions in 9 Member States affected by the restructuring of the shipbuilding industry. 
By developing new economic activities, RENAVAL has contributed in particular to the 
creation of alternative employment opportunities in these regions.
