Strategy
To maintain its pre-eminence and leadership, the European marine equipment industry seeks a sustainable environment defined by:
- Maritime Cluster
- Improve the statistical base of the European marine equipment cluster;
- Create and present ‘The leadership vision of marine equipment suppliers’
- Define possible working structures between the yards and key suppliers.
- International markets -
- Promote trade with Japan and South Korea on a European level by organising EU led delegations and European presence at trade shows
- Technology
- Make a strategic RDI plan for key-technology areas and get the commitment of at least 20 marine equipment leader firms to participate in and drive the EMECRID initiative;
- Coordinate projects for European RTD Framework Program, on behalf of the many SME’s in the marine equipment sector.
- Co-operation
- Develop further the LeaderSHIP 2015 initiative with regard to the equipment industry, with particular focus on RDI.
- Rules, rights and regulations
- the scope of the current EMEC working group on classification issues should be broadened, and more parties, including the European Commission, should be involved in order to safeguard the legal interests of the industry.
