2 Industry Related Developments yards closed since 2004 Mainly repair (0%), but stable situation for repair and conversion Newbuild only small ships and fishing vessels on small yards 2 shipyards that make ships larger than 40m Approx. 30 repair yards offshore yards Continued restructuring and downsizing Portsmouth shipyard closed after 00 years Redundancies planned on the Clyde 1 bankruptcy since 2004 (Rauma) Mainly newbuilding yards (0%) 3 out of yards changed owner Overall stable situation Growth in the supply sector Small yards under pressure 1 bankruptcy from 2004 to yards changed owner Unchanged number of production facilities Record of orders for STX in 2014 Recovery of shipbuilding sector in 2014 Stable situation of repair sector no bankruptcies from 2004 to 2014 Mainly repair yards 2 out of 4 yards changed owner Main yards closed activity due to crisis, new ones just start operating 4 bankruptcies since out of 12 yards changed owner Division between private and state owned yards: private ones act profitably, efficiently and increase number of employees 1 bancruptcy reported since 2004 Mainly newbuilding yards (,4%) shipyards closed since 2004 bankruptcies since 20 yards changed owner Mainly newbuild yards (0%) Increasing dimension of cruise ships Sustainability of the production

3 Employment Related Developments ,% since 2004 Decrease mainly due to bankruptcies (biggest yard 2004 with emplyoyee closed), while existing yards mainly increased employment approx on shipyards approx..000 on offshore yards -1,1% since 2004 Employment loss was cushioned by positive developments on 4 (out of 1) yards with increases between 1% and 0%.00 on newbuilding yards 2000 on repair yards 1.30 in supply industry temp. employees -4,% since 2004 Decrease mainly due to layoffs on existing yards -2,% since 2004 Decrease mainly due to layoffs on still existing yards However, approx. 12 yards increased employment -30,3% since 2004 Decrease due to layoffs at 2 biggest yards ,4% since 2004 Bankcruptcies of two biggest yards 2004 caused decrease of 11.3 (,4% of total decrease) -0% since 200-4,% since ,1% on biggest shipyard in ,4% since 2004 Increase caused by one yard with +3% All other yards decrease between -1% and -23% -40,% since 2004 Due to crisis, financial problems and legal uncertainty regarding taxlease-file, no new jobs hired during last 3 years -1,% since 2004 Decrease mainly due to developments on big yards (decline of two biggest yards caused 3,% of total loss) No employment increase on any yard

7 Most challenging Problems in the European Shipbuilding Sector Mean for all replying Countries: Problem Pressure from 1 (no problem) to (big problem) entering new markets (e.g. offshore wind energy), political strategy for the shipbuilding/maritime industry,1 Training of young persons,1 Acquisition of new orders, Mean Working conditions at sub-contractors,3 Supply of skilled employees, Financing of newbuilding ships, 1,0 2,0 3,0 4,0,0,0,0,0,0,0

8 Most Challenging Problems: Financing & Skilled Workers Financing of Newbuilding Ships: Problem Pressure from 1 (no problem) to (big problem) Supply of Skilled Workers: Problem Pressure from 1 (no problem) to (big problem),,

9 Most Challenging Problems: Working Conditions & Acquisation Working Conditions Sub-Contractor: Problem Pressure from 1 (no problem) to (big problem) Acquisation New Orders: Problem Pressure from 1 (no problem) to (big problem),3,

10 Most Challenging Problems: Training & Political Strategy Training Young Persons: Problem Pressure from 1 (no problem) to (big problem) Political Strategy Shipbuilding: Problem Pressure from 1 (no problem) to (big problem),4,

11 Most Challenging Problems: Entering New Markets Entering New Markets: Problem Pressure from 1 (no problem) to (big problem),

12 European Shipbuilding Survey 201: Main Results I Decrease in employment in almost all main European shipbuilding countries (except ). Employment loss most severe in and. Decline in employment is not concentrated on particular regions. In six countries closure of shipyards could be observed resulting in a loss of 1. jobs in total. Europe s role on the world shipbuilding market diminished since 2004 with China gaining momentum. Diversifying trends can be observed in most countries.

13 European Shipbuilding Survey 201: Main Results II The problem pressure (from trade unionists point of view) differs considerably between the countries which participated in the survey. In the two countries with most extreme decline in employment, the lack of a political strategy for the shipbuilding sector is regarded most challenging. In more traditional countries like, the and, working conditions at subcontractors appears to be a major challenge for the shipbuilding sector. All participants indicated a relatively high problem pressure for financing new ships.
