Sažetak
Maritime activities, especially shipping and shipbuilding, are among the main drivers of Europe’s growth in terms of jobs, competitiveness and prosperity. The continuous growth of shipping sector has however introduced some environmental concerns. Every year, nearly 3.8 billions tonnes of freight are loaded and unloaded in European ports, and 90% of all the European Union (EU) external trade passes through the sea ports. The activities related to shipping, ports and shipbuilding alone represent more than 2% of the EU’s gross domestic product (GDP), with 25% of the world tonnage under European flags. Shipbuilding in Croatia is an important industrial sector in the last decade according to the employment rate (2% – 5%, with subcontractors up to 10%) in GDP (0, 8% – 1, 8%) and export (10% do 15%). Due to size and construction complexity, a considerable part of Croatian industry, especially small and medium enterprises are directly related to shipbuilding. Nonetheless there are no clear measures for sector's future sustainable development. One of the obstacles to further intensive development is the absence of „blue growth“ strategic framework for the Adriatic sea. The aim of this paper is to analyse existing strategic documents and developmental guidelines globally, in the EU and Adriatic region related to the „blue economy“ and the „blue growth“. The „blue economy“ concept has been viewed in terms of sustainable ocean-based economic model that is largely dependent on coastal and marine ecosystems and resources, environmentally sound and innovative infrastructure, technologies and practices, including institutional and financing arrangements.
