Sixte Cambra, President of the Port of Barcelona, and Xavier Trias, mayor of Barcelona have recently presented the setting up of the Barcelona Nautical Cluster, a group of 35 companies and public organisations aiming to position the city and its metropolitan area as a "benchmark of the nautical sector in the Mediterranean and worldwide".
A non-profit organisation, the BNC will seek to increase the productivity and competitiveness of the entire sector for the benefit of the city and its surrounding area.
According to a BNC statement, the aim of integrating these thirty organisations and companies is to "create jobs, wealth and welfare, consolidate the industrial fabric, attract new investments and promote awareness of the city in the maritime sector".
