Background The Blue Economy is a recent field of study that encompasses economic activities that depend on the sea, often associated with other economic sectors, including tourism, maritime transport, energy and fishing. Blue growth supports the sustainable growth of the maritime and marine sectors as the oceans and seas are engines of the global economy and have great potential for growth and innovation. This article undertakes a bibliometric analysis in the terms of Blue Economy (BE), Maritime Economy (MAE), Ocean Economy (OE), Marine Economy (ME), and Blue Growth (BG) to analyze the scientific production of this field of study. Analysis of the authors’ definitions of BE, BG, ME and OE provides interesting relationships divided into sustainability and governance; economics and ecosystem protection; industrial development and localization; and the growth of the ocean economy, with development as the central axis that encompasses them. The main contribution is to find out if there is a link between the BE and the CE through the keyword study. Results The results show a significant increase in articles and citations over the last decade. The articles address the importance of different sectors of BE and the interest of governments in promoting it for the development of their national economies. Using bibliometric mapping tools (VOSviewer), it is possible to find possible links between concepts such as CE and BE through the BG and to visualize trending topics for future research. Nascent and future research trends include terms such as small-scale fisheries, aquatic species, biofuel, growth of the coastal BE, internationalization and blue degrowth (BD), the latter approaches aspects of BG from a critical perspective. Conclusions In conclusion, it highlights the need for alliances between the sectors that compose BG with the incorporation of the CE in order to achieve a sustainable BE in both developed and developing countries. Through the keyword analysis it is shown that the BG strategy is the bridge between the BE and the CE. The CE presents itself as a promising alternative that could mitigate tensions between stakeholders who support both growth and degrowth positions.

“…For this reason, it is necessary to propose solutions that take advantage of all available opportunities and analyze the threats to the OE. Lee et al (2020) link the BE and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and conclude that the objectives that are linked to the BE are: underwater life (14); land ecosystems (15); peace, justice, and stable institutions (16) and alliances to achieve the objectives (17).…”

Blue growth supports the sustainable growth of the maritime and marine sectors as the oceans and seas are engines of the global economy and have great potential for growth and innovation. This article undertakes a bibliometric analysis in the terms of blue economy, maritime economy, ocean economy, marine economy, and Blue Growth to analysis the scientific production of this field of study. The main objective is to find out if there is a link between the blue economy and the circular economy.ResultsThe results show an evolving and growing trend during the last decade regarding the number of published articles and citations. Nascent and future research trends include terms such as small-scale fisheries, blue degrowth, aquatic species, biofuel, growth of the coastal blue economy, and internationalization. New researchers, experts, public institutions, and private companies who wish to understand the roots of the Blue Economy and its evolution over time may find this article useful to design and develop strategies that lead to its efficient management, preservation, and sustainability.ConclusionsIn conclusion, it highlights the need for alliances between the sectors that compose blue growth with the incorporation of the circular economy in order to achieve a sustainable blue economy.

“…Ensuring a sustainable economy of Eurasian states depends on the coordinated and reliable operation of the transport industry [1][2][3], the most priority component of which is railroad transport. Currently, all types of cargo are transported by railroad, which determines the demand for its services in the transportation segment.…”

The object of the research is the processes of occurrence, perception, and redistribution of loads in the load-bearing structure of an open wagon body, taking into account the use of an intermediate adapter. To reduce the vertical dynamic loads acting on the supporting structure of the railroad car, it is suggested to use an intermediate adapter between the frame and the load. The dynamic load of the supporting structure of the open wagon was modeled, taking into account the use of an intermediate adapter. The research was carried out in the vertical plane during the oscillations of the bouncing of the car. The results of the calculations showed that the acceleration acting in the center of mass of the supporting structure of the open wagon is 4.2 % lower than that acting on the supporting structure of the open wagon without using an adapter. The obtained acceleration results are taken into account when determining the strength of the supporting structure of the open wagon. It was established that the use of an intermediate adapter contributes to the reduction of stresses in the supporting structure of the open wagon by 6 % compared to the typical scheme of cargo transportation. A feature of the results is that the proposed solution to reduce the dynamic load of the supporting structure of the car can be implemented without improving its design. The field of practical use of the results is the engineering industry, in particular, railroad transport. The conditions for the practical use of the research results are the placement of the adapter over the entire floor area of the car body. The research will contribute to devising recommendations on reducing the load on the load-bearing structures of cars, the costs of their unplanned repairs, and to increasing the efficiency of railroad transport operation
