1. Introduction
Instead of the common, each maritime and land-locked country has its own vision what
is maritime and inland waterborne economy and its own scope of the public statistics
in this field.
We agree with The Swedish Royal Institute of Technology, which in 2006 stated that
Baltic Sea Region includes the sea and also the vast land area with river basins and
lakes, where also Maritime and Inland Waterborne economic activities take place1.
It relates to the other Sea Regions indicated in the EU Atlas of the seas.
This concept is a starting point to establish the distinctive features of the maritime and
inland waterborne economy acceptable for all stakeholders.
a. This concept responds to the various EU GD Mare initiatives, recommendations
and directives (pages 1 -2)
b. The definition of the Maritime and Inland Waterborne Economy comes from
the definition of the economy as whole ( pages 2-4)
c. There are different classifications and there is a lack of comparable maritime and
inland waterborne statistics ( pages 4-5)
d. There are different names, although overlapping identification of the Maritime
and Inland Waterborne areas, sectors, sub-sectors in national maritime clusters
(pages 5-9)
e. Value added chain relates to all activities, which should be pictured by the
common categorization and classification in the statistics (example – page 9)
f. The idea of the project launched by the EU GD Mare based on the various
examples ( pages 10-20)
2. RELATION TO THE EU DGMARE INITIATIVES
Maritime ( and inland) affairs and fisheries have the economic value measured in relation
to GDP.
This value measured by Gross Value Added index is a result of the economic activities of
the entrepreneurs in the sectors and sub-sectors of the 5 Areas indicated by EU GD Mare
in the Appendix III of the “Study on the drivers for sustainable growth from the oceans,
seas, coastal regions and maritime sectors”.
Maritime and Inland Waterborne Economy is composed by all of these economic
activities, which should be shown in the Maritime and Inland Waterborne Economy
public statistics.
The % share of the Maritime and Inland Waterborne Economy in EU’S GDP is still
unknown.
This concept, integrating economic activities related to the ocean, sea and inland waters
environment, follows the EU GD Mare calls to:
- have in mind the definition of the “river basin”2
1
The Swedish Royal Institute of Technology study, 2006
str. 1
- have the reliable and comparable statistics to inform maritime policy making on all
levels3
- integrate the European Maritime Policy and the inland waterways policies. 4
- foster 5:
(a)the identification and exploitation of synergies between all EU policies relating to the
oceans, seas, costal regions and maritime sectors, - namely the environmental, maritime
transport, energy, research, industry, fisheries and regional policies.
(b)the development and implementation of integrated governance of maritime and
coastal affairs and integrated sea basin strategies, adding the integrated and
compact features of the Maritime and Inland Waterborne Economy as a (1)
tool to the already existing tools set up of the Integrated Maritime Policy in 2007
that can assist maritime governance, together with: (2)Maritime spatial
planning (MSP), (3) Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM), (4) EU
Strategy for Marine and Maritime Research, (5) Integrated maritime
surveillance
- develop the concept of the European Atlas of the Seas and its Sea Basin Atlas6:
according to the European Atlas of the Seas almost 40% of the EU’s GDP is generated
in the maritime regions, and a staggering 90% of the EU’s foreign trade is conducted by
sea but how big is the % share of the Maritime and River Basin Economy in EU’S GDP
is still unknown.

3. The concept and definition
Maritime and Inland Waterborne Economy
Economy as a whole
Economy, it is a system of activities and effects which deals with production,
manufacture, distribution and consumption of goods and services
Maritime and Inland Waterborne Economy
Maritime and Inland Waterborne economy possesses its own and the same attributes as
a whole economy

In the Directive 2000/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23.10. 2000 establishing a
framework for Community action in the field of water policy ( Article 2 Definitions, point 13: "River
basin" means the area of land from which all surface run-off flows through a sequence of streams, rivers
and, possibly, lakes into the sea at a single river mouth, estuary or delta.

according to the European Atlas of the Seas almost 40% of the EU’s GDP is generated in the maritime
regions, and a staggering 90% of the EU’s foreign trade is conducted by sea but how big is the % share of
the Maritime and River Basin Economy in EU’S GDP is still unknown.
str. 2
Therefore:
Maritime and Inland Waterborne Economy, it is a system of the economic activities
and effects which deals with: production, manufacture, distribution and consumption
of goods and services connected with the oceans, seas, and their inland waterborne
environment
The oceans, seas, and their river basins as the scarce public goods should be protected
against unsustainable human economic activity in the field of the maritime and inland
waterborne economy
The Maritime and Inland Waterborne Economy concept is convergent to the Directive
2000/60/EC in the field of water policy, where the water management concerns the
“area of land and sea, made up of one or more neighbouring river basins together with
their associated groundwaters and coastal waters”
3.1.
Categorization and classification of the Maritime and Inland Waterborne
Economy economic activities
The economic activities composing the Maritime and River Basin Economy are
measured by the whole economy common qualitative indexes, e.g. Gross (Net) Added
Value, work units, and their own set of the qualitative, e.g.: turn –over, tons, freights,
DWT, BRT, import/export, tons-km, and the quantitative indexes, e.g. CGRT in
shipbuilding
The economic activities composing the Maritime and Inland Waterborne Economy
are offered in the market by the natural and social sciences economic activities
generated from: e.g. Archaeology, Anthropology, Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Earth
science, Economics, Education, Environmental studies, Geography, History, Law,
Linguistics, Management, Medicine, Microbiology, Physics, Politics, Public
administration, Psychology, Sociology, Zoology and the Cross-disciplines
The economic activities composing the Maritime and Inland Waterborne Economy
of production, manufacture, distribution and consumption of goods and services out of
the indicated by EUROSTAT six branches: (1) Agriculture, hunting and fishing,
(2)Business activities and financial services, (3)Construction, (4)Industry (5)Trade,
transport and communication services and (6)other services, form the seventh branch of
national economies
The economic activities composing the Maritime and Inland Waterborne Economy
of production, manufacture, distribution and consumption of goods and services should
be as a starting point, identified and classified in accordance with the appendix III of the
UE Directorate-General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (DG MARE) “Study on the
drivers for sustainable growth from the oceans, seas, coastal regions and maritime
sectors”
str. 3
3.2.
Adding value, Gross ( Net) Added Value, efficiency, spatial planning,
statistics, management
The economic and non-economic activities add value
The economic activities create value added
The value added of economic activities - the differences between the value of a firm’s
(industry) output ( i.e. the total revenues received from selling that output) and the costs
of the inputs of raw materials, components or services bought in to produce that output
from: production, manufacture, distribution and consumption of the Maritime and River
Basin Economy
The Gross Value Added of the Maritime and Inland Waterborne Economy
economic activities equals to the Gross Maritime and Inland Waterborne Product
and its % share in the Gross Product in the: aerial/sectorial/subsectorial/regional/domestic/European, global levels
The efficiency of the Maritime and Inland Waterborne Economy is based on the
competitiveness of all economic, supported by the non economic activities, being the
parts of the value added chain and cooperation within clusters, hubs, and networks on
the different territorial levels
The Maritime and Inland Waterborne Economy is subject to the to the common
spatial planning
The Maritime and Inland Waterborne Economy on the central and regional levels
should be managed by the Main Unit for Management which is identified under Article
3(1) of the Directive 2000/60/EC in the field of water policy
The Maritime and Inland Waterborne Economy economic and non economic
activities should have the complete public statistical picture, useful for the administrator,
businessman, researcher, scientist, producer, manufacturer, distributor, and consumer of
goods and services
4. Different classifications and lack of comparable maritime and
waterborne statistics
The separate study is needed, underlined by:
4.1. REPORT 5 October 2010 on Integrated Maritime Policy (IMP) Evaluation of progress made and new challenges Committee on Transport and
Tourism, Rapporteur: Gesine Meissner, Rapporteur for the opinion (*): Antonello
Antinoro, Committee on Fisheries, in which we read the necessity to:
- collect reliable information and comparable statistics for maritime policy-making at
all levels.
4.2.Study on Competitiveness of the European Shipbuilding Industry
BAlance Technology Consulting, 2000. 5 and Drewry Shipping Consultants
Limited, 2002; redesigned by ECORYS, in which we read:
It should be noted that in the data sources used for this study, a variety of, sometimes
inconsistent, definitions of the marine equipment industry are used. This causes
str. 4
difficulties in comparing data.
Finally, there is no one sectoral (NACE) classification which grasps this sector, which
means that in many cases no uniform data are collected centrally, hence making this
sub-sector much harder to monitor than ship construction.
4.3. Contribution of the maritime sector to the French economy
We read: After a further check, the value of production in the maritime industries
remains close to 2.5% of GDP. Given the dispersion of the statistical data, these figures
are estimates.
4.4. The European Network of Maritime Cluster approach to the Mrs. Damanaki EU
Commissioner
Priorities for European Maritime Clusters
Among them: The ENMC members would welcome the introduction of standard
definitions of sectors and subsectors, and support for conformity in monitoring in
member states. Maritime clusters are economic entities for which there exist no readymade statistics.
5. Different naming, although overlapping identification of the
Maritime and Inland Waterborne areas, sectors, sub-sectors in
national maritime and inland waterborne clusters:
A maritime cluster should be viewed, in the first instance, as a part of an economic
architecture 7. In Maritime and Inland Waterborne Cluster cooperate the organized and notorganized sectors, subsectors,entities or their activities which directly or not-directly deal with
the oceans, seas and inland waters environment.
There are different forms of a cluster: sectorial, maritime ( ocean, sea + coastal area),
inland waterborne, inland – locked, regional, national.

Value added chain
It is a chain of vertically linked activities that each add value in producing and
distributing a product. Depending on the nature of the product, the value – added chain
may involve a large number of vertical linked activities or only a few.
str. 9
The following example shows one particular value – added chain involving converting a
raw material (oil) into intermediate materials ( ethylene and PCV), then into a finished
product (plastic kitchenware), then packaging and physically distributing (logistics, sealand transportation) this kitchenware to consumers.
In many cases firms will choose to embrace a number of “stages” in the value-added
chain as part of vertically integrated operations in order to reduce costs.
Example:
Extraction
crude oil
Refining, petrochemical
processing
naphtha
--------------chemical additives
ethylene

1.3. The British Transport Department and its Transport Statistics Great
Britain (TSGB) relates also to the statistics of:
freight handled and passenger traffic at UK sea ports
waterborne traffic ( rivers) freight in the UK
shipping, including commercial shipping fleets, industry revenue and
expenditure and maritime incidents
The British Sea Vision presents by far a broader classification of the maritime
industries and services because it includes the waterborne traffic
Result:
A formal statistical classification framework will be proposed in order to create EUwide benchmark for excellent performance as well as the identification in:
Objective 3.
Aim:
Methodology of GVA to be applied for all identified and classified economic activities of
the Maritime and Inland Waterborne Economy
Method:
1. To count value added - the differences between the value of a firm’s (industry)
output ( i.e. the total revenues received from selling that output) and the costs of the
inputs of raw materials, components or services bought in to produce that output
from: production, manufacture, distribution and consumption of the Maritime and
Inland Waterborne economic activities
Result:
The aggregated value added of all economic activities composing areas, sectors/ industries/
services of the Maritime and Inland Waterborne Economy in:
Objective 4.
Aim:
The Gross Maritime and Inland Waterborne Product
Method:
str. 19
To aggregate the Gross Value Added of all economic activities composing areas, sectors/
industries/ services for the Maritime and Inland Waterborne
Result:
The % participation of the Maritime and Inland Waterborne Product in the Gross Domestic
Product on: sectorial/regional/domestic/European and global levels in:
Objective 5.
Aim:
The Glossary of the Maritime and Inland Waterborne economic activities
Method:
Confronting the linguistic institutions in order to agree the names of all economic
activities composing the Maritime and Inland Waterborne Economy
Result:
Creating the base to edit a Glossary, giving the tool for every stakeholder of the Maritime
and Inland Waterborne Economy in order to speak the same economic language in:
Final remarks:
The concept is a starting point for the discussion.
The concept was formulated in the Gdansk, and Szczecin milieus and publicly announced by
by the Maritime Experts Association, Szczecin.
The concept has been supported by various Polish stakeholders.
The researchers of all 27 countries should take part in the UE in order to select, name, sum up
and statistically classify all maritime and inland waterborne economical activities , to
measure their Gross Value Added, the Maritime and Inland Waterborne Economy Gross
Value Added and its % part in the Gross Regional, Domestic, Sea Basins, European and
Global Product
