European shipbuilding is at a crossroads. While global demand for vessels continues to grow, Europe now builds less than five percent of the world’s ships. The challenge is no longer capability — it’s scale, coordination and execution.
In this on-demand webinar, Jan Hedeman, EMEA Business Manager at SSI, delivers a strategic reality check on where European shipbuilding stands today and what it will take to compete in the next decade.
You’ll learn:
- Why Europe lost scale and market share — and how it can regain competitiveness without racing to the bottom on cost
- How digital transformation connects design, production and operations to reduce rework, delays and margin erosion
- Why predictable delivery, tighter change control and fewer unplanned hours matter more than headline build price
- How digital twins and lifecycle services create recurring revenue while reducing warranty and compliance risk
- Why collaboration across shipyards, suppliers and programs is critical for Europe’s future
This session is designed for shipyard leaders, engineering teams and operations managers who want to move beyond one-off projects and build a more resilient, profitable and digitally connected shipbuilding business.
