Abstract: Arguments about the dwindling French power became intense. They also involve the maritime (or “blue”) economy. Several activities are to be taken into account: Shipbuilding, fishing, harbour and logistics flows, shipping companies, and firms specialised in undersea digital connections foster a large field for the assessment of French competitiveness. The issue is to gauge the factors of weakness, but moreover the leverage forces contributing to resistance and even rebirth of the various poles of entrepreneurship and growth fuelled by the sea economy.
