European Commission launches strategies for ports and maritime industry.

The European Commission presented two new strategies to strengthen the European maritime sector, one focused on ports and the other on the maritime industry. The objective is to increase the competitiveness, security, resilience and sustainability of areas considered strategic for the European economy.

On an industrial level, Brussels wants to support shipbuilding and repair, retrofits, advanced maritime technologies and other value chains linked to the sea, seeking to halt the loss of European production capacity in key sectors.

At the port level, the priority goes to strengthening physical and digital security, cybersecurity, electrification, connection to the hinterland and reducing external dependencies on sensitive systems and assets.

The message is clear: the European Union wants greener ports and maritime industry, but also stronger, more autonomous and better prepared to respond to global competition and new strategic risks.
