????? any news on the new ship 2013

[SwissDave]

I was referring to the comments above wereby someone claimed that several shipyards were in danger of closing which is SO UNTRUE!:rolleyes:

There is a backlog currently with Ficanterri Shipyards in Trieste because of all of these and other new builds.

 

 

Pam is absolutely 100% correct. The ship building industry in Europe is in a bad way. Several shipyards are in danger of closure even to the point the EU leaders are talking about relaxing the rules on state aid to keep them open until the industry recovers in the next couple of years.

 

Before saying people are posting things that are untrue, I would suggest you do some research. Google CESA.

 

Fair use extract from a document in the public domain following CESA AGM this year..

<The global order volume for new ships has started to recover. In 2010, orders at European yards increased almost fivefold compared to 2009. Also the volume of ships delivered increased slightly while turnover grew by 20%. Despite these positive figures, still weak demand as well as structural imbalances in the global market with unprecedented overcapacities continue to be a source of deep concern. The coming two years will remain very difficult for the industry. Only a few yards have been able to secure healthy orderbooks for 2012 and beyond. Consequently, the employment impact resulting from the demand collapse from 2008 and 2009 will hit the European shipbuilding industry mainly in 2011 and 2012>

No one mentioned Fincantierri except you.

 

And as per what I posted "Only a few yards have been able to secure healthy orderbooks for 2012 and beyond". fincantierri abviously being one of those who has secured orders.

However, one ship building yard is NOT the Euopean shipbuilding insustry.
