The Hellenic Marine Equipment Manufacturers & Exporters (HEMEXPO) welcomes the adoption of the European Industrial Maritime Strategy by the European Commission. This initiative constitutes a clear and long-awaited political commitment to actively support European shipyards and manufacturers of marine equipment – sectors that are indispensable to Europe’s competitiveness, resilience and strategic autonomy.
European maritime manufacturing is a strategic industrial asset. Strong European shipyards and a competitive marine equipment industry are essential not only for economic growth and technological leadership, but also for defence, sustainability and for the green and digital transition of shipping. The Strategy sends a strong signal that Europe recognises this reality.
HEMEXPO calls upon all stakeholders at European level and at national level in Greece – including the Government and its relevant public bodies, shipowners and manufacturers – to work together in close cooperation in order to deliver tangible results.
