crucial/very important normal importanceRegional socio-economic impactof the yards
All types of yards in all European regions have a very important socio-economic impact.
The yards are often located in structurally lagging regions (f.e. in UK, Spain, Germany and France). In general in these regions there is a lack of job opportunities.
Especially in The Netherlands and in Norway, where the yards‘ number of employees isabout more or less 150 people, the yards‘ impact on the region is of normal importance.

CAD CAM CIM
CAD: Computer Aided Design
CAM: Computer Aided Manufacturing
CIM: Computer IntegratedManufacturing
Computer-aided instruments of production have been widely used by newbuilding yards.
The high level of usage of CAD in repair yards is partly explained by the different tasks of repair yards (conversion etc.).
The usage of CAD, CAM and CIM depends on the vertical range of manufacturing. Thereforethe degree of utilization in repair yards is lesser than in the other types of shipyards.
Naval shipyards provide the biggest range of manufacturing.
The type of shipyard is the contributing factor for the usage of computer-aided instruments.

The highest degree of co-operation with scientific institutions will befound in naval shipyards. 43,2% of the naval shipyards are co-operatingregularly with scientific partners.
There is a positive correlation between the degree of co-operations withscientists and the vertical range of manufacturing.
Co-operations do occur in propulsion, hydro-dynamics and workorganization.
There are regional differences in this question.

Joint working groups can be seen as an increased form of co-operation withsuppliers.There is a positive correlation between the existence of joint working groups and the complexity of ships built by the yard.Joint working groups can be found in approximately 50% of the repair yards. In comparison, more than 62% of the naval yards dispose of such working groups.In the field of merchant shipbuilding all yards (100%) involved in buildingpassenger ships (ferries, cruisers) affirm the existence of joint working groups.The level of the existence of joint working groups in Bulgaria and Romania(covered by „Others“) is rather high for the reason as major yards are belongingto Western European shipyard concerns.

Co-operations of yards in Western Europe with yards in other regions
• Only for yards in Western Europe the survey providesa sufficient number of cases.
• The partner yards in Central and Eastern Europe arelocated above all in Poland, Romania and Bulgaria.
• Concerning the type of shipbuilding (newbuilding orrepair) there are no differences.
• There are different types of co-operations: sub-contracting, Foreign Direct Investment, horizontal co-operations between equal partners. The following slides cannot distinguish between these different types.

Nearly 50% of the yards building merchant ships in the EU-15 co-operate with yards Eastern Europe.
Only one third of the repair yards co-operate with Eastern European partner yards.
Compared with the group of NB Merchant, co-operation of Western European naval yards with Eastern Europe is underdeveloped.

Even the quality of products and the partners‘ different mentalities are among the main problems.

Brussels, 13.09.200534
Compared to the problems of co-operation between EU-15 yards and Eastern Europe, technical problems are of no importance related to the co-operationwithin Western Europe.
Only the existing different mentalities of the partners seems to be problematic.
The West-East difficulties primarily refers to hard facts.
The West-West difficulties primarily refers to soft facts (mentality).
Thesis• If there is a strategic co-operation (horizontal co-operation)
between equal partners, this kind of co-operation is the casebetween yards in Western Europe – this kind of co-operationis going far beyond the simple outsourcing.
• Co-operations between EU-15 and Eastern European yardsare much more determined by outsourcing processes (steelwork, hulls, sections).
• Co-operations between EU-15 and Eastern European yardsare very often characterized by corporate-internal co-operations: These partner yards belong to one shipyardgroup (f.e. Damen, Aker Yards, AP Moeller).
• Significantly less co-operations (in their different shapings) do exist between legally and economically independent yards in Western and Eastern Europe.

The impact of the EU enlargement in different fields of the yards
• From the yards‘ point of view, the co-operationbetween the EU yards will improve after the EU-Enlargement.
• Divided by regions, especially Eastern European yards are expecting an increasing of the wage leveland staff qualification.
• In the case of the wage level, above all Western European yards are expecting a decrease(management is defining this as a positive effect, workers´ representatives as a negative one).

The expectations of the yards concerningthe EU‘s involvement in different fields
• From the yards‘ point of view EU‘s involvement is mostimportant to establish a level playing field.
• Obviously EU`s involvement in language training ismore often expected by yards in Eastern Europe. WithinEU-15 only 38% of the yards see involvement in thisfield as important (lingua franca=English).
• Even in the cases of ‚shipfinancing‘ and ‚rethinking theindustry structure‘, Eastern European yards considerEU‘s involvement more important than Western European yards.
• Only 60% of the naval shipyards are expecting the EU‘s involvement for the creation of an „European DefenseIdentity“.

blue collar white collar
Difficulties in recruiting qualified blue and white collar workers could be found in all types and regions of European shipbuilding.
Above all the problems seems to be higher in the merchant ships sector.
Especially in the countries where the shipbuilding industry has a bad image, the problems in recruiting are comparatively higher.

Comparison of income and costs of a blue collar worker in 2003
• The systems of financing the health system, unemployment insurance etc. are very different in thedifferent countries (from tax-financed systems to non-wage-labour-costs systems).
• F.e.: The labour costs in The Netherlands and Denmark are nearly equal, but the share of (gross) income in Denmark (94,3%) is much more higherthan in The Netherlands (71,2%).
• The comparison of income and costs staysincomplete, because there are no information on productivity of the single yards.
