Maritime Industry – Overview
• Growth of the maritime industry is determined to great extent by global demand patterns,
which in turn affect shipping patterns, economic developments happening globally, and
natural events or occurrences which hinder growth of this industry.
• In recent times, global recovery from economic crises, unemployment and several natural
disasters in APAC countries such as Australia and Japan have taken a toll on the global
maritime industry.

• However, the APAC maritime industry has managed to stay resilient during these tough
times by constantly evolving and finding measures to counter the negative impacts of
such economic and natural crises.
• By focusing on improving R&D activities and achieving diversification through innovation,
many countries in the APAC region have been able to counter the economic headwind.
• About 85% of the world’s total order book of new shipbuilding is constituted by China,
together with Korea and Japan.
• In 2011, the total volume of goods
shipped across the world reached
close to about 9 billion tons of cargo
in international seaborne trade.
• The recent economic recession took

industry adversely affecting the

APAC Maritime Industry – Key Characteristics
• The APAC region is becoming a key market for the maritime and shipbuilding industry
with many countries acknowledging the potential of the growing regional maritime
industry.
• Main competitors in the APAC maritime industry are China and Korea, both in an on-going
competition for 1st and 2nd place.
• Other countries becoming key shipbuilding nations include India and Philippines. These

Other countries becoming key shipbuilding nations include India and Philippines. These
nations are leveraging incentives to secure their position as the growing maritime industry
players in the region.
• Indonesia is among the other lesser known countries that is taking heed of the potential of
this industry in the APAC region and is engaging in measures to increase its shipbuilding
industry.
• Average sizes of companies are the largest in China. In APAC, 20% of the largest
companies represent nearly 92% of the turnover.
APAC Maritime Industry – Current Key Trends
1. Focus shifting from domestic to international trade
Lesser known countries in the shipbuilding industry sch as Indonesia have been gradually
becoming successful in the domestic ship-building industry. To increase their footprint in
the industry such countries are now shifting focus from the domestic ship-building market
to international market.
2. Business Incentives in the form of cheap and skilled labor
Over the last few years, countries such as India and Philippines have been rising to

Over the last few years, countries such as India and Philippines have been rising to
become shipbuilding nations in the region with incentives of cheap and skilled labor. This
is causing most countries to shift focus of shipbuilding to these low-cost countries for
shipbuilding activities.
3. Government initiatives to attract investors
Some of these initiatives include The Government of Philippines laying out investor-
friendly laws with attractive incentives to lure investors such as Hanjin of South Korea,
Tsuneishi of Japan and Keppel of Singapore. The Indian Government is offering a 30%
subsidy on all sales closed on foreign buyers and on local sales of ocean-going vessels of
longer than 80 meters..

APAC Maritime Industry – Key Drivers

APAC Maritime Industry – Key Drivers
• Initiatives Undertaken: Initiatives taken by governments and businesses will help further
the development of the regional maritime industry. For instance tripartite models of forging
partnerships undertaken by countries like Singapore are a shining example of how
to overcome the drawbacks of a sluggish global economy.
• ASEAN Economic Community (AEC): The commitment by Singapore, Malaysia,
Indonesia and Vietnam to implement the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) by 2015
will grow ASEAN into a highly competitive and connected economic region. Production

will grow ASEAN into a highly competitive and connected economic region. Production
and distribution networks will be widened and deepened, thereby supporting the maritime
industries among ASEAN member countries.
• Low Cost Leadership with R&D Innovation: Low cost-leadership alone, will not
continue to sustain competitiveness in the maritime industry. To keep up with competition
from western nations, certain APAC countries are adopting implementation of R&D
innovation along with low labour costs to gain a strategic advantage. This is a major
factor helping companies sustain their market presence during adverse conditions.
Future Outlook
• The International character of the industry and its cyclical pattern are certain to slow
regional growth in the near future.
• However, the outlook for Asia remains bright. This is largely attributed to initiatives taken
by businesses and governments in the region.
• Other main factors include the opening of distribution and trade routes in the ASEAN
region with the implementation of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) initiative.
11
• Several port development programs are being undertaken in countries such as Malaysia
and Indonesia which are beginning to witness an increase in cargo throughput
• Low cost leadership will shift from countries like Korea and Japan to China and other
emerging shipbuilding nations like Vietnam, Philippines and India. Korea and Japan.
• However, to keep up with overall increasing labour costs and competition from the EU and
US in these costs, several APAC nations will seek to strengthen their R&D and technical
innovation capabilities to keep up with the competition.
Conclusion : Key Takeaways
2To counter the influence of these external factors in light of APAC’s competitive landscape, businesses and governments need to collaboratively formulate their responses.
Close cooperation in shipbuilding and the marine equipment supply industry
1Shipbuilding is mainly affected by macro factors such as oil prices, economic/political stability, world seaborne trade and market factors such as government subsidies, scrapping old vessels, vessels on order and pricing.
12
3Close cooperation in shipbuilding and the marine equipment supply industry will further bring about the much needed changes that are vital to beat the volatile market.
4There is a lack of protectionist policies by governments in the APAC region
required to safe-guard interests of shipbuilding companies which is expected to
be a growth restraint unless corrected.
5Continuous evolution and innovation is required to be undertaken by maritime and
shipbuilding companies to prepare themselves to counter possible future impacts
from changing macro-economic factors and natural calamities.
