Marcin Szczepanek, Małgorzata Sawicka
Modernisation of the Polish fishing fleet may be based on the resultant of a number of different solutions applied by the EU countries in terms of energy efficiency. However, the solutions are subject to the existing possibilities or, in other words, to the barriers to improving the energy efficiency. The barriers may include market, financial, institutional and technical barriers as well as the barriers related with information. Each of them significantly affects the modernization process, and as consequence, the energy efficiency.
This paper presents an analysis of the barriers that occur while energy efficiency improvement of the Polish fishing fleet, which is one of the oldest in Europe. The paper also includes the possibilities to address them having regard to the technical condition of fishing cutters and the provisions of EU and maritime organizations.
