Maritime Policy Initiatives of the Baltic Sea States

In accordance with the Terms of Reference of the EGMP one of its tasks is to initiate a maritime economy cluster in the Baltic Sea Region. The first step to realize this task was taken. EGMP organized Maritime Cluster Workshop in Lithuanian port city Klaipeda on 11 – 12 May 2010, where representatives from maritime clusters in the Baltic Sea Region were invited to discuss possibility of establishing Maritime Cluster of the Baltic Sea Region. The outcome of that workshop is a clear message that cooperation between maritime clusters in the Baltic Sea Region is necessary and the clusters’ cooperation could make the Baltic Sea Region more competitive.
