European Network of Maritime Clusters (ENMC)
Established in 2011, the ENMC is a “megacluster” of 18 national maritime clusters. Members of the ENMC regularly exchange best practices and discuss issues and opportunities related to Blue Growth. Two general meetings are held every year: the first one takes place in Brussels with the European Commissioner for Maritime Affairs; the second one in a member country in turn.
Luxembourg Maritime Authority / Commissariat aux affaires maritimes (CAM)
The Luxembourg Maritime Administration is the focal point of all shipping matters in Luxembourg. Its statutory functions are outlined in the Maritime Act 1990. Together with the Ministry of Economy, the Maritime Authority (Commissariat aux Affaires Maritimes) acts as guarantor of high-quality standards and ensure that only serious ship operators can fly the famous Red Lion. For this purpose, the Authority deploys a team of experts and maintains longstanding partnerships with first-rate classification societies operating worldwide.
Single Windows for Logistics
The Single Window for Logistics (SWL) programme is an initiative of the Luxembourg Government to implement a National Information and Transaction Platform facilitating international trade. SWL and the Luxembourg Maritime Cluster cooperate in the promotion of efficient procedures for the shipping sector.
Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce
The Luxembourg Maritime Cluster’s office is located at the third floor of the Chamber of Commerce. As a professional chamber and public institution encompassing all sectors of business other than agriculture and crafts (Chambre des Métiers), the Chamber of Commerce acts as the guardian of its member companies’ interests. Today, the Chamber of Commerce has some 90,000 affiliated members which account for 75% of total employment and 80% of GDP in Luxembourg.
Odyssea asbl
ODYSSEA was founded in 2013 by Luxembourgish marine biologists with the aim of promoting marine biology in Luxembourg and beyond, giving everyone the opportunity to dive into the unique world of the oceans.
The association regularly organises field courses and internships allowing students to learn more about the marine environment and the work of marine biologists. The focus of each project is different and ranges from scuba-diving expeditions with sharks to whale and dolphin field courses. The ODYSSEA team is actively engaged in research and conservation projects across the globe. The Luxembourg Maritime Cluster supports ODYSSEA and has signed a Memorandum of Understanding in 2016.
