Definition – expenditure on R&D in all aspects of marine activities.<br />

25.1 INTRODUCTION<br />

Research & Development relates to four main sub-sectors: shipbuilding, oil & gas,<br />

other industrial, and government (mainly academic). Our figures exclude the<br />

important military naval sector where the US accounts for €13bn and the world<br />

total could be €26bn.This is important to the civil sector, not only in terms of<br />

direct military contracts which can financially underpin companies, but also the<br />

technological spin-off into civil applications.The US Navy budget for development,<br />

testing & evaluation has increased from $14.9bn in 2004 to $16.3bn in 2005.This<br />

includes $477m for basic research, $564m for applied research, $677m for advanced<br />

technology development, $2.8bn for advanced components development and $8bn<br />

for system development and demonstration. 82 The US has a programme to specifically<br />

involve SMEs in military R&D.<br />

25.2 WORLD MARKET<br />

The <strong>Marine</strong> R&D sector is valued at €11bn for 2004. A number of sectors make<br />

up this global value. Historically, activity has been fairly constant with forecast growth<br />

estimated at 1.4% annually from 2005 through to 2009.<br />

• We value shipbuilding R&D at €1.8bn and its future growth is mainly a function<br />

of future growth of revenues. Centres of shipbuilding R&D exist through Europe<br />

and SE Asia.<br />

• The oil & gas industry is estimated to spend €2.5bn, but in future years this must<br />

increase in line with the technical challenges that will be faced. Major centres are<br />

Brazil, France, Norway, the UK and the US. (Our estimates are based the mid point<br />

of figures produced separately by McKinsey and Shell.)<br />

• Other marine industries, we believe, total some €1bn in annual R&D spend.<br />

• Government is a major spender with over 1,200 ‘research’ vessels operating<br />

worldwide.The US leads and we estimate NOAA’s marine budget at €2bn. Other<br />

countries probably total €3 billion.The response to global warming is likely to<br />

increase this.<br />
