Port activities are geographically concentrated in a limited number of regions, mainly because of favourable geographic conditions. These regions attract a substantial number of port related firms. Seaports are naturally born clusters. Cluster environment stimulates competitiveness and competition inside a cluster and industry. Some competitiveness problems are at the pure level of business entities’ co-operation and business integration in the Freeport of Riga. Cluster environment stimulates the integrated development of all the business entities within a cluster. Cluster concept is applied to enhance the understanding of the performance of a seaport. The objective of the paper is to find out the cluster perspective influence to the business competitiveness and the integrated development of the Freeport of Riga. (original abstract)

Działalności portów morskich koncentruje się wokół ograniczonej liczby regionów, głównie ze względu na korzystne warunki geograficzne. Regiony te przyciągają znaczną liczbę przedsiębiorstw związanych z portami morskimi, stanowiącymi naturalną kolebkę klastrów. Środowisko klastrów pobudza konkurencyjność oraz rywalizację wewnątrz powiązanych firm oraz przemysłu. Niektóre problemy konkurencyjności stanowią prawdziwe stopnie współpracy podmiotów gospodarczych oraz integracje gospodarcze wokół Freeport w Rydze. Środowisko klastrów stymuluje również zintegrowany rozwój wszystkich podmiotów gospodarczych w ramach klastra. Koncepcja klastra jest zatem stosowana w celu zrozumienia działania portu. Celem pracy jest przedstawienie punktu widzenia dotyczącego wpływu klastrów na konkurencyjność Freeport w Rydze oraz rozwoju działalności i integracji gospodarczej. (abstrakt oryginalny)
