THE ECONOMIC VALUE OF SHIPPING AND MARITIME ACTIVITY IN EUROPE Andrew P Goodwin

1 December 2016 INTRODUCTION

2 SHIPPING IS A VITAL FACILITATOR OF WORLD TRADE

Real-terms increase Increase in world 73 in world GDP in the 112 seaborne trade % last two decades % over the same period

Value of EU’s trade €3.5 with the rest of the trillion world in 2015

90% IMO estimate of the value of world trade carried by

3 OVERVIEW

The European Community Shipowners’ Associations (ECSA) asked Oxford Economics to: • Assess the economic contribution of the shipping industry . Directly . Through its European supply chain . Through the spending of workers and those in the supply chain

• Estimate the impact of measures permitted under Community guidelines on state aid to maritime

• Review the contribution of maritime academies

Extending the analysis to the wider maritime cluster – example from the UK

4 DEFINITIONS

The shipping industry

. Transport of goods by sea (containerised and non-containerised) . Transport of persons by sea (on and cruise ) . Service and offshore support vessels (e.g. ships laying or repairing undersea cables or pipelines; prospecting for oil; conducting oceanographic research; diving assistance; undertaking undersea work; servicing offshore wind farms, oil and gas platforms) . Towage and at sea

5 ECONOMIC IMPACT ANALYSIS

6 THE STUDY ASSESSES THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF THE EU SHIPPING INDUSTRY ACROSS THREE CHANNELS

Direct impact e.g. Freight services services Towing & dredging Service and offshore support activities Renting and leasing

Indirect impact Induced impact e.g. building e.g. Food and beverages Ship repairs Other consumer goods services Restaurants Insurance Recreation services Shipping-related financial and etc. legal services, etc.

Total economic impact

26 SUMMARY

27 THE ECONOMIC VALUE OF THE EU SHIPPING INDUSTRY

28 EXTENDING THE ANALYSIS TO THE WIDER MARITIME CLUSTER – AN EXAMPLE FROM THE UK SIMILAR TECHNIQUES CAN BE USED TO ASSESS THE IMPACTS OF THE WIDER MARITIME CLUSTER

• In 2015, Maritime UK asked Oxford Economics to assess the economic contribution of the UK maritime cluster

• Defined to include: • Shipping • ( handling, warehousing, storage, transport services, and repair undertaken within UK ports) • Maritime business services (ship broking, insurance, maritime financial and legal services, classification societies)

30 WE USED DETAILED LOCAL DATA TO ESTIMATE EMPLOYMENT WITHIN A SAMPLE OF PORTS Manufacturing 6% 7% 1% 1% Wholesale and Retail 7% 9% 8% 0% Trade, Repairs 16% 2% 11% Construction 11% Transport and Storage

32 IDENTIFYING MARITIME BUSINESS SERVICES ACTIVITY POSES CHALLENGES • Maritime business services typically do not have their own category within official statistics • Our estimates of the industry’s direct employment and GDP contribution therefore relied on detailed research by the industry. That in turn used a survey, interviews and industry yearbooks to identify relevant firms and the size of those firms • Total direct employment was estimated to have been just over 10,000 workers in 2013, slightly more than in cargo handling Financial Classification services 8% 1%

Legal services 15% 39%

Insurance services 33 37% INCLUDING MULTIPLIER EFFECTS WE ESTIMATE THAT MARITIME BUSINESS SERVICES CONTRIBUTED £3.5 BILLION TO UK GDP IN 2013
