The European Commission has unveiled two new strategies to strengthen the European maritime sector, one aimed at ports and the other at the maritime industry. The objective is to increase the competitiveness, security, resilience and sustainability of areas deemed strategic for the European economy.
On the industrial front, Brussels wants to support shipbuilding and ship repair, retrofits, advanced marine technologies and other value chains linked to the sea, seeking to stem the loss of European productive capacity in key sectors.
On the port front, priority goes to strengthening physical and digital security, cybersecurity, electrification, hinterland connectivity and reducing external dependencies on sensitive systems and assets.
The message is clear: the European Union wants ports and maritime industry that are greener, but also stronger, more autonomous and better prepared to respond to global competition and new strategic risks.
