21.3 EUROPEAN MARKET<br />

Europe is a major provider of marine equipment, particularly high technology and<br />

was valued at €17 billion in 2004. In shipbuilding this ranges from electronic charting<br />

and integrated bridge systems to advanced marine engines.<br />

In 2000, Europe was estimated to satisfy 37% of the world demand for shipbuilding<br />

sector marine equipment (whilst having only a 16% of the world shipbuilding<br />

market). 75 In 1997 the leading European suppliers of marine equipment were<br />

Germany 22%, UK 19% and Norway 15%.<br />

€74 billion in 2006.This is due to a forecast slight decline in shipbuilding.There is a<br />
