The European Marine Equipment Council (EMEC) appointed its new Board. The Board of EMEC will be made up of prominent marine equipment industry representatives delegated by the member National Associations for a two year term.
Mr. Lars Gorvell-Dahll (Kongsberg) was appointed President. Mr. Dirk Lehmann (Becker Marine Systems) and Mr. Philippe Lecois (Converteam) were elected Vice Presidents.
The outgoing President Mr. Jaakko Eskola (Wärtsilä) thanked the EMEC members and EMEC Secretariat for all of their hard work and support for the Association over the years. He also wished Mr. Gorvell-Dahll the ‘best of luck’ in his new position.
The remaining board members will be delegated by the National Associations in the coming months. Those already confirmed are: Mr. Paolo Lotti (Financieri), Mr. Ziya Gökalp (Gökalp Shipping) and Mr. Kjeld Dittmann (Lyngsoe Marine).
“True and Powerful Political Tool”
The Executive Committee stated that they want EMEC to be a “true and powerful political tool” for the benefit of the European marine equipment manufacturers. EMEC needs to “work more closely with foreign entities, considering that more than 60% of the European marine equipment sectors turnover is in Europe”.
