With 76% of the EU’s external trade being carried by sea, European shipping is a strategic asset for Europe’s security and prosperity. Shipping is a global industry. It is now more important than ever to ensure European shipping remains globally competitive. To achieve this, it is essential to continue the constructive dialogue and cooperation with EU policymakers and stakeholders. In my new position as Vice-President, I look forward to working with Mikki Koskinen, ES|ECSA members and the team as we strive to leverage the potential of European shipping for Europe”.
