The flow of goods and commodities continues to increase along international waterways and sea routes while the high demand for cruises remains unabated. The shipbuilding industry and its suppliers, however, are faced by great challenges, such as ship safety, high price pressure and the need for increased energy efficiency. These are just a few of the issues affecting the industry. Shipbuilders also need to meet increasing environmental standards and requirements for ‘green shipping’. Shipyards and boat manufacturers are looking for ways to cut costs and for innovative solutions to improve competiveness on an international level.
