  2. Critical Issues Facing Durban Maritime Industry Low levels of efficiency in Durban port-logistics system – this is manifested through a variety of issues facing the Durban Maritime Industry: • Common vision not present • “Them-Us” mentality and poor cohesion between stakeholders • Port-Business Articulation Issues • Port-Road Articulation Issues • No cohesion among education service providers

  4. The Objectives of this Process Resolve these critical issues by: • Incorporating the views and needs of ALL interested and affected parties • Move beyond TALKING about issues and • Develop a Special Purpose Vehicle to facilitate the roll-out of industry-wide programmes

  6. Key Concepts of Maritime Clustering • A network of maritime business firms, research development and innovation firms and training organisations supported by national or local authorities which co-operate with the aim of increasing maritime industry’s performance. • Port clusters assist in articulating and co-ordinating private and public entities that make up the port community by strengthening the fundamental economic role of ports within the local and regional economies. • Firms and organisations from across the maritime activity spectrum are included in the maritime cluster • Maritime clusters around the world co-operate on key programmes to enhance local efficiencies and best business practise.
