The potential for the clustering of the maritime transport sector in the Greater Dublin Region

Spatial concentration and location dynamics in logistics: the case of a Dutch province

“…In logistics, research on co-location is mostly limited to clustering of port and maritime industries (De Langen, 2004;Brett and Roe, 2010). While a substantial body of literature develops models for the location of logistics firms (see Melo et al (2009) for an overview), these models are hardly tested empirically.…”

Measuring relatedness in a multisectoral cluster: an input–output approach

“…Research by O'Donoghue and Morrissey (2013a) and Brett and Roe (2010) found that there is potential for a maritime cluster within the Dublin region. However, these findings do not conflict with the research found here.…”

“…Table 1 provides an overview of the subsectors most commonly defined as being part of the marine sector. In theory a maritime cluster has the potential to represent any number or combination of maritime sub--sectors provided in Table 1. However, to date, the majority of maritime clusters have been based on exploiting agglomeration economies between firms belonging to the same maritime subsector, with a particular focus on the transportation sector (de Langan, 2002;Benito et al, 2003;Shinohara, 2010;Brett & Roe, 2010;Chang, 2011;Othman et al, 2011;Morrissey and O'Donoghue, 2013a).…”

Proximity matters: synergies through co-location of logistics establishments

“…Almeida, 2007). While these concepts can be highly relevant for the logistics sector (Sheffi, 2010), in logistics such research is limited to spatial clustering of port and maritime industries (De Langen, 2004;De Langen and Visser, 2005;Brett and Roe, 2010). In addition, some research has been done on freight villages (e.g.…”
