• Brest a particular context
• Cross point of intense maritime routes and
  dangerous navigation areas
• Several environmental and human catastrophes
  during past years
• Amoco Cadiz (1978), Tanio (1980), Erika (1999),
  Prestige (2002)
• Result Shipping accidents are part of collective
  memory
• CEDRE created after Amoco Cadiz disaster to
  improve prevention and responses to accidents
• Maritime safety is a hot topic implying local
  authorities, public and private actors

21
International context

• Maritime safety a global, worldwide problem
• Increase of international trades between
  continents
• A growing place of maritime transport in
  international trades
• Result an increase of maritime risks shipping
  accidents and terrorism
• Cost efficiency of maritime transport a global,
  worldwide challenge
• A growing place of maritime transport in global
  economy
• Cost efficiency of transport becomes one
  important component of worldwide economy
• Technologies are the basis of modern logistics
  and transport management chains
• New technologies a promising mean to reach both
  goals and a promising business

22
Integration of security, safety, transport
efficiency issues

  regions, port authorities, maritime interest
  community (AMRIE), Business and Innovation
  Network (EBN)
• To consolidate the vision of an international
  initiative define main priorities

25
Conclusion part I

Conclusion of these experiences

• Efficiency of clusters to clusters cooperation
• larger programs, of visible impacts, of national
  interest, reducing risks for PME.
• Targeted programs long term cooperation
  frameworks, of mutual interest.
• Targeted partners mutual confidence and common
  goals.
• Role of intermediate organizations
• Identify key cooperation axis
• Contribute to crystallize a panel of
  competencies, from public and private sectors, to
  respond to governmental concerns ICT,
  environment, transport..
• Preserve the mutual interest of each group and
  individuals, facilitate the funding of the
  actions.
• Organize workshops, periodic meeting.
• FACILIATE THE CREATION OF COMMERCIAL COOPERATION
• All this requires a strong cooperation with
  governmental organisations local, national and
  European to define strategies, get support and
  funding.
• A lot of efforts on high tech but still many
  thematic unexplored!
