“…Coupled with the improvement of commercial and residential environment, more senior talents are attracted to move in, forming different levels of human resources and optimization of its structure. [16] Similarly, conglomerates and institutions relies heavily on local business and policies. The SMSA area gathered enormous resources range from business and organization level to human resources level, thus creating a brilliant business environment.…”

Agglomeration and building complexes are two mainstreams in modern urban development, planning and construction. The combination of agglomeration theory and building complex theory is proved to be feasible and useful through function analysis of Shanghai Maritime Service Agglomeration (SMSA) area. The findings point out that construction innovation of building complexes should comply with the integral demand of talents, companies and government. In addition to external scale effect, cost reduction, talents attraction and other agglomeration effects, function innovation of SMSA is analyzed and investment is made in four main aspects as comprehensive maritime services, resource & energy saving, environment-friendly & green transformation and environment adaptive yacht harbor operation. The assessment and discussion on the construction project witnessed a great success that social and economic benefits are abundant. The experience of SMSA is summed up to provide theoretical and practical reference for the construction of other building complexes and agglomeration areas.

“…Table 2 The role of IMERC from an institutional perspective is therefore one that explores and exploits the complementariness of the four pillars in terms of knowledge, labour skills and related demand and supplier costs. This requires stimulating the development of networks, knowledge flows and social capital to link upstream and downstream firms, as well as other organisations, to form a productive and innovative system generating vertical and horizontal spillovers (Viederyte, 2013). In assessing the future impact of the cluster, it is important that IMERC partners have access to appropriate methods to evaluate the relative strengths of the cluster from its onset.…”

“…Europe has historically had an important maritime 3 industry with a strong global position in many maritime sub sectors (Viederyte, 2013), including maritime transportation and ship and boat building. However, as globalisation increases competition from lower cost locations like South America and Asia, the question has become how to maintain and strengthen the competitiveness of the European maritime sector.…”

“…However, as globalisation increases competition from lower cost locations like South America and Asia, the question has become how to maintain and strengthen the competitiveness of the European maritime sector. Within this context, many European countries have moved in the direction of having their maritime industries represented by cluster organisations (Viederyte, 2013). The policy focus on cluster development in the maritime sector reflects the insights of research in the early nineties by Porter (1990).…”

The conventional representation of an industrial cluster is that of a self--supporting group of firms with a nest of multi--directional intra--cluster linkages. However, recent research has noted Services. This analysis found that although IMERC has weak intra--cluster linkages, the four pillars share a high number of related inputs and outputs. Based on this analysis, IMERC has the potential to develop into a strong maritime cluster.

“…Alliances among maritime system actors are common: equipment manufacturers become suppliers to shipyards, while at the same time shipyards are suppliers to shipping lines or shipowners. Geographical proximity may influence these alliances, i.e., maritime clusters (Viederyte, 2013). However, in globalized industries, such as shipping, equipment suppliers can be located anywhere in the world (Dicken, 2011).…”

Eco-innovation research pays increasing attention to business models and their contribution to the diffusion of environmental technology into socio-technological systems. The extent to which a business model hampers or promotes certain types of eco-innovations remains an open question. In order to shed light on this issue, the authors develop a conceptual framework to show how a specific type of business model (ProductService Systems) could be applied to the context of the maritime industry. With a focus on the Danish maritime industry, the case study addresses two questions: Which business models are being used to develop, install and service the ballast water treatment technology? And, How can these business models add value to the ballast water treatment systems in the market? The case shows that different business models are applied depending on whether the installation is on new or retrofitted vessels. Both installation and operation stages of ballast water treatment systems provide opportunities for collaboration among stakeholders. Based on the Eco-costs/Value Ratio model, the authors perform an analysis of on-board and port-based ballast water treatment systems with the aim to propose a possible product-service system. These results suggest that portbased systems have the highest potential for eco-efficient value creation and a possible product-service system can be designed for this kind of technology. The article highlights the point that authorities need to improve regulations to stimulate port-based ballast water treatment systems rather than on-board ballast management systems.
