The European Ships and Maritime Equipment Association (SEA Europe) has announced that IHC Merwede's President, Govert Hamers, will succeed Lars Gørvell-Dahll as Chairman in October 2013.
Mr Gørvell-Dahll's will step down midway through his tenure to become the Managing Director of the maritime arm of the Federation of Norwegian Industries.
Long-Term Ship Financing
The current matters facing IHC Merwede are also representative of the topical issues being held under review by SEA Europe for its European and international policy strategy against challenging, yet cautiously optimistic economic conditions. These include challenges associated with the long-term financing of new ships, implementation of new environmental legislation and research development and innovation.
SEA Europe
SEA Europe was jointly founded in Brussels last year by European shipbuilders, ship repairers and maritime suppliers. The Association brings together the Community of European Shipyards Associations (CESA) and the European Marine Equipment Council (EMEC). It represents an industry that generates more than € 72 billion in annual turnover and offers employment in highprofile jobs to more than 500,000 European workers.
