• Order books relatively stable measured in number of ships – however composition radically changed

- Offshore vessels: From 80% to 45% in less than two years

- New orders Offshore vessels 0 in 2016 compared to 34 in 2014

- Fishing and Fish Farming vessels soon same number as Offshore

- Cruise and Passenger vessels growing in importance

• Two key questions:

1. Can the Yards be profitable in these new segments?

2. Can new markets replace offshore?

The cluster has an impressive ability to adapt to new market situations

Three key challenges

• Productivity

- Since 2009, productivity in the cluster has stagnated, while the rest of the offshore oriented part of the maritime industry in Norway has improved productivity.

- Why has productivity stagnated, and how will it impact will the competitiveness in offshore markets when global demand starts to increase?

• Cluster composition

- The most distinguishing feature of the Møre cluster has been the tight value chain structure, with internationally competitive companies within the local cluster in all steps in the value chain. This vertical structure is under pressure of two reasons: a) The offshore shipping companies will probably consolidate, and ownership and headquarters may be centralized outside Møre. b) The ship designers and yards in Møre show an impressing ability to adapt to market changes by switching to other types of vessels, for example ferries, cruise ships and wellboats.

- How will cooperation, knowledge flows and cluster based innovation be affected when the buyer-seller linkages in the value chain are broken?

• Standardization and cost-efficient mass production

- Yesterday’s innovations are today’s standards, because customers will require standardized solutions to reduce their own costs.

- Will the Møre cluster be find sufficiently large and attractive market opportunities to capitalize on innovation capabilities?

FUTURE PROSPECTS: WILL THE CLUSTER RETAIN COMPETITIVENESS?
