Global Shipbuilding PractiseGlobal Shipbuilding Practise

For many governments, shipbuilding is an important aspect of their national pride and industrial policy. Consequently, the industry worldwide operates in a distorted marketplace.

European Union - Had direct subsidy until recently - Supportive Government Policy

United States - Canadian built commercial vessels prohibited from USA, but US builds enjoy duty free access to Canada.

Korea - Previous bailout by government / IMF - Supportive Government Policy

China - Very low wage rates and supportive government policy

Brazil – Supportive Government Policy
