Most studies of the maritime industry focus mainly on its structure and its economic impacts on national economies, without providing detailed insights into the economic and technological activities of the industry itself at the regional level. This study explores the nature of innovation activities in the maritime industry and identifies the extent to which these activities differ according to the size of the firms, knowledge intensity, and location within a cluster, and suggests in the conclusion possible action strategies that could help the maritime industry to be more competitive.
