The shipbuilding sector is going through drastic changes that are set to shape the industry for the next decade. The central government is actively pursuing a policy of consolidation, pushing once broken monopolies back together: clear examples are the merger of the CSSC with the CSIC, currently China's biggest shipbuilding companies expected to control, once merged, 20% of the global market as well as the talks on a strategic merger between CMIH, CIMC and AVIC INTL, respectively the 4th, 5th and 7th biggest Chinese corporations in the sector.

Against such backdrop, the Shipbuilding Working Group invites you to its first official meeting. The scope of the event will be discussing the Working Group action plan and advocacy priorities for the coming year, deciding what kind of actions will be appropriate to better advocate for the points expressed in the position paper, analyzing the main outcomes of the EU-China dialogue on Shipbuilding of July 31st.
