Strategic Planning of Short Sea Shipping Within Maritime Clusters

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The Dynamics of Short Sea Shipping

Part of the book series: Palgrave Studies in Maritime Economics ((PSME))

Abstract

Industry clusters provide a novel framework for interpreting industries. They offer a penetrating understanding as to the rudiments of economic activity, within a region. There has been a substantial drive in recent years, to research and support the cluster concept, though this process is far from delivering an understanding without caveats and restrictions. Clusters can provide valuable insight within industries, as they pertain to eventualities that harbour collective health, for many organizations. This instance summates the basic strength, but also, the elementary weakness of the concept. At the same time, caution should be applied, as the construct is not straightforward, and is many times left to selective interpretation. This chapter aims at investigating the complementarities of strategic planning of short sea shipping within a maritime cluster perspective.
