Participant Companies
The following Members of the EUROYARDS E.E.I.G. participate in the e-EUROSHIP project:
- Aker Yards S.A. (France)

- NAVANTIA S.L. (Spain)
- MEYER WERFT GmbH (Germany)
The EUROYARDS Companies are producing a combined purchase volume of about 3/4 billion EURO per year.
Mission
To invigorate the shipbuilding industry in Europe by creating a virtual meeting place that will facilitate interaction between suppliers and shipbuilders, thus increasing overall efficiency of the players involved.
Goals
The participating companies have established a pan-European portal that will enable them to optimise communication with the suppliers. The use of a suitable Internet platform will allow a significant expansion in the relationships and a considerable acceleration in the transactions with the network of the shipyards and suppliers participating in the initiative. Reduction of costs for members, rapid adoption of e-business, reduction of connectivity costs, and greater alignment with industry technology standards are only some of Euroship's goals.
Developement of the Project
- At present almost 800 suppliers have subscribed to e-Euroship, who can be contacted by 260 purchasers from all 5 participating shipyards.
