Greek naval shipbuilding industry development proposal
Overview
The Hellenic Shipbuilders Association (EEN/HSA) has proposed a long-term strategic framework to develop a domestic naval shipbuilding industry. Initially, the association suggested a 15-year program for warships and submarines to meet the naval requirements of Greece and Cyprus, potentially utilizing EU funding and international partnerships like Hanwha Ocean.
As the initiative evolved, the proposal was expanded into a strategic plan presented to the European Commission. This broader plan aims to position Greece as a ‘southern pillar of European defense’ ahead of its 2027 presidency of the Council of the European Union. The updated recommendations include establishing a single National Coordinator to manage defense responsibilities, implementing a 70% minimum domestic added value requirement for shipbuilding projects, and urging the EU to enforce stricter industrial return indicators through financial tools like the EDF and SAFE.
