The Luxembourg Post has issued a set of commemorative stamps of the Luxembourg Maritime Cluster in 2010.
The two stamps depict a liner, sail-yacht a container vessel and what looks like a dredger, the ships are not identified.
Conscious of its importance and its positive influences in many fields, the Luxembourg maritime sector began to organize itself in 2008. The “Cluster maritime luxembourgeois” society was created as a result.
35 Members strong representing all maritime trades, the Cluster maritime luxembourgeois is the privileged spokesperson of the entire sector. In Luxembourg, one finds ship owners, ship managers, maritime financiers, insurers, logistics experts, consultants, lawyers, classification companies, dredging companies, and also an organization fighting against piracy.
All these activities constitute many opportunities for Luxembourg to diversity its economy.
Thanks to the railroad company CFL, Luxembourg has many excellent, daily, and rapid connections to the great ports of the North Sea. The trains carry merchandise which the country needs and allows the export of surplus products in return. And to serve the most remote destinations from the ports, the Grand Duchy can count on a modern fleet of more than 200 ships which proudly raise the “Roude Léiw” on all the seas of the globe.
