Welcome to the website of the European Community Shipowners’ Associations (ECSA). ECSA is the voice of European shipowners, advocating for a competitive and sustainable European shipping industry. We represent 21 members from the EU and Norway.
Europe is facing an existential transformation as it strives to meet climate neutrality by 2050 while maintaining industrial leadership at global level. The Green Deal Industrial Plan and the proposed Net-Zero Industry Act have put forward ambitious measures to strengthen Europe’s security by fostering green technology manufacturing, green transport, just transition and open trade.
Shipping is a cornerstone of Europe’s security – from energy to food and supply chain security. The European shipping fleet is one of the largest in the world, representing 39.5% of the world fleet enabling the EU to play a leading role in the global supply chains. Shipping delivers the goods we need, supports EU exports and connects European citizens within Europe and with the rest of the world.
