Market and Industry Analysis:
- CESA conducts research and provides insights into market trends, technological advancements, and competitive dynamics within the global shipbuilding industry.
Innovation and Development:
- Research and Innovation: The association supports innovation by promoting research and development initiatives. These initiatives often focus on areas such as green technologies, digitalization, and advanced manufacturing processes.
- Collaborative Projects: CESA encourages collaboration among shipyards, suppliers, research institutions, and other stakeholders to foster innovation and share best practices.
Support for Maritime Workforce:
- Skills and Training: CESA is involved in initiatives aimed at enhancing the skills and qualifications of the maritime workforce. This includes advocating for educational programs and training opportunities tailored to the needs of the shipbuilding industry.
Sustainable Shipbuilding:
- Environmental Responsibility: Promoting sustainable practices is a key focus for CESA. The organization supports initiatives that reduce the environmental footprint of shipbuilding activities and encourage the development of eco-friendly ships.
Networking and Information Sharing:
- CESA organizes conferences, workshops, and meetings to facilitate networking among industry players and the exchange of information and best practices.
Membership:
CESA's membership includes national shipbuilding and ship repair associations from various European countries. These associations represent individual shipyards within their respective countries, creating a broad network of industry stakeholders across Europe.
History and Evolution:
- Formation: CESA was formed through the merger of various national shipbuilding associations to create a unified platform for the European shipbuilding industry.
- Evolution: Over the years, CESA has adapted to the changing dynamics of the maritime industry, including shifts in global competition, technological advancements, and regulatory developments.
By addressing the challenges and opportunities faced by the European shipbuilding industry, CESA aims to enhance its global competitiveness and ensure its sustainable development.

KIMM Cracks the Code for Underwater Radiated Noise Prediction
Researchers in South Korea at the Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (KIMM) have reportedly developed a hull-attached sensor-based system for predicting underwater radiated noise (URN), a key factor in naval stealth operations.KIMM Develops First Hull-Attached Sensor System for Predicting Underwater Radiated NoiseNew algorithm predicts underwater noise in real timeBoosts naval stealth and operational efficiencyThe new technology allows real-time monitoring of underwater noise levels generated by naval vessels, enabling early detection of abnormal vibrations and improving operational efficiency while reducing maintenance costs.

BHP Signs Charter Contracts with COSCO for Two Ammonia Dual-Fueled Vessels
Australia’s BHP Group has signed contracts with COSCO Shipping Bulk, a subsidiary of COSCO Shipping, for the charter of two ammonia dual-fueled Newcastlemax bulk carriers.The new vessels to be built under the arrangement will be two of only a handful of vessels in the world capable of using ammonia as a marine fuel.The two vessels, expected to be delivered from 2028, will primarily transport iron ore from Western Australia to Northeast Asia.When run on lower or low to zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions ammonia, these vessels will be capable of reducing GHG emissions by at least 50% and up to 95% on a per voyage basis compared to a conventionally fueled voyage, according to BHP.
ESG Wins Bid to Build Washington State Hybrid Electric Ferries
Washington Governor Bob Ferguson announced he has selected the $714.5 million bid from Florida-based Eastern Shipbuilding Group to build three new 160-vehicle hybrid-electric ferries. “We’re restoring domestic service to pre-pandemic levels years ahead of schedule, improving crew retention, and soon will bring our first hybrid-electric vessel into service,” Governor Ferguson said. “After careful consideration and conversations with legislative leaders, I believe Eastern is the best option to build these critically important vessels at a fair cost to our taxpayers.
