Abstract

Introduction. Maritime economic activity is important for states with long coastlines. State support enables participants in maritime activities to maintain strong competitive positions. Purpose. To develop proposals for improving state support instruments in order to increase the efficiency of maritime activities. Methodology and Methods. The application of a state-centered approach makes it possible to take into account priority national interests in maritime activities. Based on content analysis of international and Russian legislation and a comparative analysis of foreign practice, the possibility of applying elements of foreign practice to the development and regulation of maritime activities is examined. Results. It was found that “chronic” and systemic barriers limiting effectiveness still remain. It was determined that the emergence of new technologies and the transition to an import-substitution policy in shipbuilding have not received sufficient up-to-date regulatory support. The activities of governing bodies aimed at improving support instruments, both in sectoral and functional aspects, are argued for and substantiated. Conclusions. The development of existing instruments and the adjustment of approaches to granting state support measures will increase the effectiveness of national maritime policy.
