He began by thanking all maritime service providers and companies who have been able to maintain supply chains during the coronavirus pandemic. In his welcoming address, Norbert Brackmann emphasised the enormous challenges facing the maritime industry. These include shipbuilding, trade and handling, climate protection and digitalisation. Federal support is being provided in the form of an additional 1 billion for the maritime industry, as well as the economic stabilisation fund and the debt moratorium for cruise operators.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10718\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10718\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10718 size-medium\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Shot-Schwesig-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Shot-Schwesig-300x169.jpg 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Shot-Schwesig-768x432.jpg 768w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Shot-Schwesig-750x422.jpg 750w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Shot-Schwesig.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10718\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Manuaela Schwesig, Minister President of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In her welcoming address <strong>Manuela Schwesig<\/strong> She proudly advertised the efficiency of her federal state, which not only has a great tourism industry, but also a strong maritime economy as an important pillar.

She emphasised the importance of the maritime industry, which has run into rough seas as a result of the pandemic. She also mentioned the serious consequences that have caused hardship for many companies. She also mentioned the German government's comprehensive package of measures, but conceded that this only had a palliative effect. She called for looking ahead and thinking beyond the crisis: \"more sustainable and digital, utilising the potential\". She wanted Europe to become a lead market and literally said \"We want to continue to have this here\". She conspicuously avoided mentioning China. She hoped that new market niches would have to be found. She did not say that this had to be recaptured. Chancellor Merkel emphasised how important climate protection and the protection of maritime ecosystems are. She emphasised that we are challenged internationally, that there are competitors on the global market - and repeatedly avoided naming China.<\/p>\n<p>Her statement that the maritime industry is the flagship of our economy was astonishing.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10714\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10714\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10714 size-medium\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Shot-Altmeier-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Shot-Altmeier-300x169.jpg 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Shot-Altmeier-768x432.jpg 768w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Shot-Altmeier-750x422.jpg 750w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Shot-Altmeier.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10714\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Peter Altmaier, Federal Minister of Economics<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In Peter Altmeier's keynote speech, the Minister of Economic Affairs also initially avoided naming China as the biggest challenger to German industry until he was asked about this in the chat.
