A ECASBA (European Community Association of Ship Brokers and
Agents) foi criada em 1990 como comité da Fonasba (Federation
of National Associations of Ship Brokers and Agents) que é a organização mundial que representa os Ship Brokers e Agentes de Navegação. A missão da ECASBA é representar os interesses comuns dos Agentes de Navegação junto das Estruturas Comunitárias . Actualmente a ECASBA representa as Associações de 21 Países Europeus. O Órgão Executivo da ECASBA , conhecido como “Advisory Panel”, conta com 12 membros e está representado pelo Presidente e Vice‐Presidente na Direcção da FONASBA
A ECASBA criou grupos específicos de trabalho entre os seus membros, abrangendo áreas e assuntos relacionados com Alfandegas, Politica Portuária, SSS, Formação e Educação e Segurança e Ambiente
A ECASBA é um membro activo do MIF (Maritime Industries Forum)

Any European will remember learning about the great voyages of discovery which opened the eyes of our forebears to the vastness of our planet, to the diversity of its cultures and the richness of its resources. Most of these voyages were made by sea. Most of them required for their success openness to new ideas, meticulous planning, courage and determination. As time went by, they not only opened up previously uncharted areas of the globe, they also generated new technologies such as the chronometer to allow for the exact calculation of longitude and the steam turbine to bring independence from the tyranny of prevailing winds.
Many Europeans have always lived beside or close to the sea. It has provided them with a living as fishers and mariners, it has given them health and enjoyment, new horizons to dream of and a rich vocabulary of words and metaphors to be used in literature and their daily lives. It has been seen as a source of romance, but also of separation, unknown perils and grief. It has provided us with a constant challenge and a deep yearning to understand it better.
Europe is surrounded by many islands and by four seas: the Mediterranean, the Baltic, the North Sea and the Black Sea; and by two oceans: the Atlantic and the Arctic. This Continent is a peninsula with thousands of kilometres of coast ‐ longer than that of other large land masses such as the United States or the Russian Federation. This geographical reality means that over two thirds of the Union’s borders are coastal and that the maritime spaces under the jurisdiction of its Member States are larger than their terrestrial territory
Europe’s geography, therefore, has always been one of the primary reasons for Europe’s special relationship with the oceans. From the earliest times, the oceans have played a leading role in the development of European culture, identity and history.
This is no less the case today. As the EU seeks to revitalise its economy, it is important to recognise the economic potential of her maritime dimension. Between 3 and 5% of Europe’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is estimated to be generated by marine based industries and services, without including the value of raw materials, such as oil, gas or fish. The maritime regions account for over 40% of GDP. MARITIME POLICY
