Economic and Structural Issues

In an effort to better understand the economics of the shipbuilding industry, and to improve transparency regarding government support measures, the Working Party has decided to undertake a series of studies and analyses in order to assess the effects of government and industry actions on the competitive conditions in the world shipbuilding sector.

Over the 2007/08 biennium, these activities will include:

  • A survey and analysis of subsidies and other government support measures.
  • An in-depth study of the structure of the world shipbuilding industry.
  • A report on the financing of ship construction.
  • A series of reports on the shipbuilding industries of selected OECD and non-OECD economies.
