Abstract
Based on the 'Special Act on Designation and Promotion of Maritime Industry Clusters', Korea maintains its policy for supporting its shipbuilding, shipping and port industry by forming a maritime cluster in the regional hub city. Nevertheless, the development of maritime cluster in Korea is still quite different from those of the industrialized countries in the maritime field such as Norway, Germany and the United Kingdom where high added value is created through the sharing and accumulation of tacit knowledge, information and experience as well as location aggregation in maritime clusters. In particular, Norway fostered its offshore oil and gas industry cluster in the 1970s with the aim of supplementing its own industry's insufficient international competitiveness and creating high quality jobs and generating huge national interest through sustainable maritime energy resource development. Thus, this study will focus on law and institutions from the best practices in Norway so that clusters could increase competitiveness of their own maritime industries at macro level, not for the purpose of knowledge transferring between small private clusters. In relation to the areas of cooperation that should be considered for the real development of the maritime industry cluster in Korea, this paper will investigate an overview on the maritime clusters, the analysis of cooperative relational development between small clusters, and the government-level legal and institutional support measures in Norway.
