EUROYARDS is a European Economic Interest Grouping seated in Brussels, pursuant to the terms and conditions of EEC Regulation 2137/85 of the Council of 25th July 1985.

Incorporated in 1992, the original membership within the group has changed over the years mirroring the evolution of the European shipbuilding industry.

The aim of EUROYARDS is to foster the interests of its partners, both by adopting common positions before international Bodies that promulgate the policies of the sector and by implementing them through ad-hoc working teams.

EEIG EUROYARDS is managed by an Executive Committee, whose members are top managers of the shareholding companies.

Today EUROYARDS includes the following leading shipbuilding companies from six European Countries:

The EUROYARDS members are the leading builders of cruise ships as well as of other major high-technology vessel types such as ferries, chemical carriers, specialised cargo ships, off-shore and specialised vessels and yachts. Furthermore, some members play a big role in the naval shipbuilding segment.

EUROYARDS members employ a workforce of about 50.000 and have a production value in the range of €13bn.

All EUROYARDS shipyards are members of the Community of European Shipyards’ Association (CESA).
