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