The University of Chichester is currently exploring collaborative best practise in business clusters
in the maritime industry for an EU INTERREG IV Channel Arc Manche Integrated Strategy (CAMIS)
project in conjunction with France. Marinas are of specific interest to the project due to their natural
locational and organisational cluster features. Marinas provide the central hub for potential cluster
activities to occur yet the research has shown that organised clustering is not always happening.
Clusters need to have trust, leadership, and a purpose, to become successful and productive, and
the inability of companies to overcome the fear of losing competitive edge through collaboration is
often quoted as a reason for the failure of clusters in the UK.

TransEurope Marinas (TEM) is one marina organisation that does maintain cluster activities, albeit
in a small way. TEM is unique because it is not a cluster situated in one location – marinas are
not located close together – just the opposite. TEM has been very successful in maintaining and
increasing membership and appears to overcome many of the barriers to successful clustering
because of the locational differences rather than despite them. Membership of TEM does not
interfere with normal working practice and does not take up too much time and cost for the
member marinas. In return they can benefit from increased visitors through the membership
scheme.

There is the potential for increasing cluster opportunities in this type of setting – additional member
benefits such as marketing and branding, insurance, bulk buying etc. can bring in cost and efficiency
savings at little extra cost. But there are risks involved – these include increased time and resources,
increased demand over supply, and a diluting effect of the TEM brand as it grows larger. Achieving
a balance between increased activities (and potential economic growth for the individual marinas)
and the increase in cost (through time and associated marketing) needs to be matched to the overall
aims of the cluster. TEM has managed the potential barriers of language, culture, and distance and
any new initiatives need to be simple enough to continue to be translated across borders. TEM is
unique and it appears that its limitations are part of why it is successful at what it does in the sense
it has found a niche in the market and a history of growth and sustainability.

The three-day show, which offers free entry, takes place in the maritime heart of St. Helier Marina and features power and sail, side by side. It also showcases the best of Jersey to both residents

and visitors alike – history, food, drink and entertainment. One of the indisputable stars of the show and open to visitors during the three-day event is 79-metre HMS Mersey, a working navy warship and now employed as a Patrol vessel offeringfisheries protection and maritime security.

Barclays Jersey Boat Show has confirmed an eclectic and exciting programme of entertainment, which is sure to please the crowds during the May Day Bank Holiday weekend event. Last year’s show saw an estimated 30,000 visitors, confirming it as a vital showcase for the local maritime industry, an integral part of Jersey’s tourism offering and an opportunity for broadening overseas marine connections.

For TransEurope Marina berth-holders wishing to travel to Jersey for the show, member Paul le Neveu confirmed that it would be business as usual; “The marina staff continues to welcome visiting yachts as we don’t close the harbour to visitors during the weekend of the show”. He went on to explain that “this year there will be 105 land based stalls/exhibitors including the Outdoor activities arena, and 55 vessels afloat in the marina.”

With free public entry, the event features both land and water-based displays and the opportunity to try a new watersport. Active participation is encouraged with demonstrations, talks, workshops and special activities for children.

Central to the show is a great range of sailing and motor boats at competitive prices! Also available during the event, visitors will be able to talk to suppliers, services, sailing schools and learn more about the area’s tourist features.
