Employment Related Developments 2004-2014 -,% since 2004 Decrease mainly due to bankruptcies (biggest yard 2004 with 2.302 emplyoyee closed), while existing yards mainly increased employment approx. 3.00 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 + 2.400 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 2004 -,4% since 2004 Bankcruptcies of two biggest yards 2004 caused decrease of 11.3 (,4% of total decrease) -0% since 200-4,% since 2004 -,1% on biggest shipyard in 2004 +,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

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.
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.
