Shipping is a cornerstone of Europe's energy and supply chain security and in the frontline of the energy transition. European shipping is a success story. Europe represents 35% of the global fleet against the EU's 15% share of global GDP. The European fleet and our tonnage have been growing, but others have been growing faster. For Europe to retain shipping as a geopolitical asset, we need to maintain its international competitiveness and invest in the energy transition. Ensuring an international level playing field is necessary. Investing the EU and national ETS revenues in clean tech and clean fuels will make the whole maritime industrial cluster more competitive. Thanks Richard Meade from Lloyd's List for the good discussion and Anne H. Steffensen , CEO of Danish Shipping, for the interesting insights.
For years the shipping industry lamented sea blindness among the global political elite. Particularly in Europe, where shipping was more often than not ignored unless it became a pollution problem. Now, amid unprecedented geopolitical challenges, shipping is finally visible and the great powers are scrambling to bolster national interests. Shipping is once again recognised as a strategic sector. Donald Trump says it is shipbuilding that will make America Great Again. He may even believe that. For the EU, shipping is now intrinsically linked to energy and trade security. And as a byproduct of its resurgent status as a critical industry it is being namechecked in the slew of policies being pushed to light a fire under Europe’s industrial competitiveness amid increasingly hostile challenges from the US and China. But political plans are easy enough to produce — action, and the financing to enact it, less so. So is all this political attention a window of opportunity for the industry to capitalise on and secure the conditions it needs to prosper, or is the existential crisis at the heart of Europe going to sink shipping’s prospects inside the world’s largest trading bloc? Expert insight from: Sotiris Raptis, Secretary General, EUROPEAN COMMUNITY SHIPOWNER'S ASSOCIATIONS Anne H. Steffensen, CEO Danish Shipping And for those of you attending the EU Shipping Summit next week in Brussels, a useful primer to listen to in advance. https://lnkd.in/e-VrPCdR
