Abstract
The paper deals with the analysis of the shipbuilding activity under the new conditions of
the global crisis. The method of research is the comparative analysis used on two levels: global and
European. The research is important and actual because Romania became one of the most important
players in the European shipbuilding indystry. Even if the analysis is focused on the economic
performance, it describes the social impact of the crisis by using the evolution of the employees’
number, the output trend in connection with wages and total revenues, etc. The main conclusion of
the paper is that Europe losted its main position on the world shipbuilding market and presents a
comparative disadvantage related to its Asian competitors. The whole analysis is supported by
pertinent statistical tables and diagrams and uses the latest official statistic databasis.
