The Romanian Shipbuilders Association
We represent the interests of shipyards and manufacturers, equipment and raw materials distributors in Romania on national and international level.
The Romanian shipbuilding industry is currently navigating a time of significant opportunities and challenges.
On the one hand, at the European level, SEA Europe and its member associations and companies have successfully raised the profile of shipyards and maritime equipment manufacturers as strategic industries for Europe. Thanks to these efforts, the European Union has committed to delivering an Industrial Maritime Strategy. This strategy is key to enhancing the competitiveness, sustainability, and resilience of Europe’s maritime production sector, and Romania is part of this process.
On the other hand, in order to maintain the international competitiveness of companies in Romania’s shipbuilding industry, their sustained efforts must also be supported by a favorable legislative and economic framework at the national level. The Romanian shipbuilding industry, together with companies across the national supply chain, represents tens of thousands of jobs, a highly skilled workforce, top-level technical and industrial management expertise, and outstanding production capacity and technology.
In Romania, complex vessels and maritime structures are built — such as large cruise ships, offshore support vessels, ferries, mega yachts, and other innovative, one-of-a-kind projects. We are confident that Romania will also recognize the shipbuilding industry as a national strategic industry — and indeed, we need full support.
As President of ANCONAV, I will continue with full determination to support this sector in order to maintain our leadership in the field, to take part in strategic international projects, and to contribute to the development, adaptability, sustainability, and competitiveness of the entire Romanian shipbuilding industry.
