How can maritime clusters be used to enhance the competitiveness of both the city and the port ?
Maritime clusters can be established to enhance the competitiveness of both the city and the port by bringing together various stakeholders in the transport and logistics sector. In Montreal, the CargoM association serves as an example, aiming to foster partnerships and communication among shippers, carriers, and service providers. By promoting sustainability, advocating for infrastructure investments, and addressing key issues, CargoM contributes to the region’s economic growth and resilience. This collaborative approach aims to utilise the advantages of clustering to enhance Montreal’s position as an intermodal hub, involving public and private stakeholders in shared economic and social interests for mutual benefit.
This good practice also includes objective 3.1 (Encouraging the development of soft, multimodal and collaborative mobility, notably for commuting) of the AIVP’s 2030 Agenda.
Over 6,300 businesses are involved in the transport and logistics sector in the Montreal metropolitan area (2014 figure). In 2012, a metropolitan transport and logistics cluster for Montreal was launched. Dubbed CargoM, it aims to bring together all of the stakeholders concerned, including transport operators and authorities (Port of Montreal, airport, etc.), as well as various committees, associations, educational and research institutions.
