The maritime industry has no time to waste if it is to meet the IMO’s ambition of at least halving emissions by 2050. Therefore, the Getting to Zero Coalition – launched at the UN Climate Action Summit in September 2019 – is committed to the ambition of commercially viable zero-emission vessels operating by 2030. A key step towards meeting this ambition is for first movers across the maritime sector to come together in commercial-scale demonstration projects. The deployment of zero-emission vessels will require the creation of a new green value chain, involving both old and new stakeholders, which will likely be underpinned by new forms of contractual relationships.

Within the growing renewable energy market, production is increasingly moving offshore, both in a move to capture better and more abundant energy resources as well as for social and logistical reasons. Half of the world’s population lives within 60 km from the coastline, making it a natural match for energy supply and demand. Demand for new-build and converted FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Offloading) vessels and FLNG (Floating Liquid Natural Gas) facilities have increased due to the declining rate of new onshore oil discoveries to historic low levels and also from technology that enables efficient deepwater oil exploration in unprecedented ocean depths.

The shipbuilding sector is going through drastic changes that are set to shape the industry for the next decade. The central government is actively pursuing a policy of consolidation, pushing once broken monopolies back together: clear examples are the merger of the CSSC with the CSIC, currently China's biggest shipbuilding companies expected to control, once merged, 20% of the global market as well as the talks on a strategic merger between CMIH, CIMC and AVIC INTL, respectively the 4th, 5th and 7th biggest Chinese corporations in the sector.

Against such backdrop, the Shipbuilding Working Group invites you to its first official meeting. The scope of the event will be discussing the Working Group action plan and advocacy priorities for the coming year, deciding what kind of actions will be appropriate to better advocate for the points expressed in the position paper, analyzing the main outcomes of the EU-China dialogue on Shipbuilding of July 31st.
