Croatian shipyards

Croatian shipyards
Croatia's largest shipyards have been state-owned since the days of Yugoslavia. They have withstood wars as well as the economic problems which followed. Today they provide work for thousands in cities like Rijeka, Pula, and Split. However, uncertainty looms.

Six out of seven of Croatia's state-owned yards have been losing money, accumulating debt, and continuing to operate only through state subsidies. However, Croatia's impending EU membership will to call an end to such subsidies. European laws prevent a government from propping up a shipyard through state subsidies. The Croatian government is now trying to sell its shipyards, looking for private investors to take them over and restructure them.

Darren Laing has been in Croatia, asking what this means for the industry and its workers.
