Their location in the indus- trial park gives them a competitive edge and promotes networking. Between the years 2014 and 2016 the Business Ser- vices of the City of Rauma ran the Rauma subproject of Turku Seas 2020 project which was part of the Meri programme by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment. The aim of the project was to develop the operative environment of the companies belonging to the maritime cluster in Rauma, promote networking among these companies and support their marketing efforts. The first catalogue of maritime cluster companies in Rauma was compiled as part of the Turku Seas 2020 subproject. The current, updated version has been put together by Rauma City Development. The need for this catalogue was generated by the changes in the marine industry’s operational environment that call for effective marketing and constant presentation of expertise and client references by the companies.

Hur ser framtiden ut för de finska och svenska isbrytarna med tanke på klimatförändringen och i och med att de hårda isvintrarna blivit mindre vanliga än vad de var på t.ex 80-talet. Jag har använt mig av litteraturstudier och intervjuer med sakkunniga både från Finland och Sverige. Finland och Sverige har ett välfungerande samarbete vilket syns tydligt då de arbetar med att ta fram en ny gemensam design för nästa generationens isbrytare. Detta tyder på att vi fortsättningsvis kommer att ha isbrytare i våra vatten, samt andra faktorer som jag beskriver i detta arbete.
