In recent years, the Chinese Central Government has put great emphasis on the marine economy, since it has been a new driving force of the national economic development. Yet, the relationship between marine economic development and energy efficiency remains unknown. In this paper, we investigate whether marine economic development affected energy efficiency. We focused on the Zhoushan Archipelago, the first National New Area for marine economic development in China. We applied panel data approach to construct the counterfactual of Zhoushan Archipelago. We compared Zhoushan and its counterfactual, the synthetic Zhoushan, and viewed the difference between them, after the Zhoushan Archipelago New Area, as the impact of marine economic development on energy efficiency. We found that compared with its counterfactual, the real Zhoushan had a more substantial improvement in energy efficiency after the National New Area construction. We estimated that the construction of the National New Area for Marine Economy increased energy efficiency by about 10 percentage points. We also applied the bootstrapping technique to illustrate the significance of the estimated results. The results suggest that the Zhoushan Archipelago New Area construction had a statistically significant impact on energy efficiency. In addition, we conducted two tests, including leave-one-out tests and permutation tests, to check the robustness of estimated results, which also serve as an illustration of significance of the estimated results from an alternative empirical perspective. The results from these two tests are similar to each other, both indicating that the Zhoushan Archipelago New Area construction had a statistically significant positive impact on energy efficiency. Overall, our results suggest that marine economic development had a sizable improvement in energy efficiency.

The Five-Year Plans are China’s most important macroeconomic and social management tool, setting goals and directions for the national economic and social development vision. To date, China has implemented 13 periods of Five-Year Plans. On March 12, 2021, the Chinese government adopted its 14th Five-Year Plan, which requires breakthrough the key core technologies of marine engineering and cultivating and expanding the marine engineering equipment industry. This research conducts a policy analysis to comprehensively examine the development plans for the marine engineering equipment industry in these 14th Five-Year Plans issued by China’s central level and local level governments. By summarizing and analyzing these policies pertaining to the marine engineering equipment industry, it aims to show a holistic picture for the new policy developments in China’s new five-year period. This paper also highlights the challenges and pressures that might be faced by the Chinese authorities in the policy implementation stage.

“…Marine economy generally includes production activities for the development of marine resources and marine space, as well as related industrial activities for the direct or indirect development of marine resources and space, mainly including marine fisheries, shipping industry, sea salt industry, marine oil and gas industry, etc. Development in the marine economy means that the relevant industries engaged in marine production activities are constantly developing according to the characteristics of low energy consumption, low emissions and high efficiency, of great significance for promoting sustainable development of the marine economy (Sarker et al, 2018;Guo et al, 2022).…”

Vietnam is a coastal country with many potentials and advantages to develop marine economic sectors with a coastline of over 3,260 km. Marine economic activities are an important economic asset for Vietnam, and more information about marine economic activities is needed for marine policy and management purposes. In which, Hai Phong is not only an important node, a leading province in developing the marine economy, but also plays a role in economic linkage with the political capital Hanoi, Vietnam. In the 2016-2021 period, Hai Phong's coastal economy has always maintained a high level, contributing about 30% to the country's coastal GDP. However, besides the positive contributions of the marine economy to the investment and development of Hai Phong marine economic zone, in recent years, the development of the marine economy is facing many challenges. difficulties and challenges, the efficiency achieved is not high compared to the potential and available advantages of the sea. This article focuses on analyzing and assessing the current state of sea economic development in the period 2016-2021 of Hai Phong, thereby proposing some solutions to develop the marine economy for sustainable development by 2030.
