European Naval Shipbuilding: plotting a course for the future

The global economic crisis has resulted in a slump in orders throughout the shipbuilding industry, and the naval sector is feeling the pinch too. However, the international market is expected to recover - the key questions are when, where and how? During this 60 minute online seminar, analysts and journalists from Jane's maritime team will assess prospects across Europe for new orders in every category of warship, patrol vessel and auxiliary over the coming 10 to 20 years.

Domestic order books within Europe are on a steady downward trend and exports are increasingly hard to come by, with potential overseas customers increasingly keen to develop indigenous warship-building capabilities. Recent years have seen a great deal of discussion about the need for consolidation within the European naval shipbuilding sector, with - for example - the UK government threatening to withhold orders for two new aircraft carriers unless the major industry players agreed to merge their shipbuilding interests. The pace of change, however, is slower in countries where state-owned entities are the dominant force.

What does the future hold for Europe's military shipbuilders?
How do they adjust to the reduced order book over the next 10 to 15 years?
Where are the greatest sales opportunities to be found?
What technologies will be driving future procurement?
