The relatively young Marine Services industry in China has grown alongside China's booming marine economy. Industry revenue is expected to increase at an annualized 7.6% over the five years through 2025, to total $884.2 million. This trend includes expected growth of 7.7% in 2025. The industry profit margin is expected to be 8.8% in 2025.China's marine economy accounted for 7.8% of the national economy in 2024. The marine economy's importance is anticipated to grow further, bringing more businesses to the industry. Approximately 347 marine services enterprises operate in the industry, employing 9,474 people in 2025. Over 90% of marine services providers operate with annual revenue of less than $1.0 million. The top four companies, Guangzhou Marine Geological Survey, Qingdao Institute of Marine Geology, Yantai Shunda Ocean Engineering Service Co., Ltd. and National Marine Environmental Forecasting Center, jointly account for an estimated 23.3% of industry revenue in 2025, which indicates a low concentration level.Foreign ownership in the industry mainly occurs through joint ventures with domestic enterprises. These joint ventures combine the local backgrounds of domestic firms with the technological strength of foreign investors. In 2025, foreign-investment firms (including firms from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau) are estimated to account for 3.4% of enterprises, but generate 14.8% of industry revenue.Industry revenue is forecast to grow at an annualized 4.0% over the five years through 2030, to reach $1.1 billion. Growing investment in marine engineering construction and marine pollution control programs will largely drive this growth. Governments, enterprises and research institutes are also projected to invest more in research and development for marine services over the period.

IntroductionAs global resource demands and environmental challenges intensify, China's vast marine resources present a significant opportunity for sustainable economic development. This study investigates the impact of financial development on high-quality growth in China's marine economy across 11 coastal regions from 2011 to 2020.MethodsWe examine a mediation and moderation model linking financial development and marine economic quality in China, where the marine economy increasingly relies on financial support. This study proposes marine innovation output and industrial structure upgradation as mediators, with marine capital investment as a moderator.ResultsOur findings reveal that financial development significantly promotes high-quality marine economic growth, albeit with regional heterogeneity. The strongest effect is observed in the Eastern Marine Economic Zone, while the Southern Marine Economic Zone shows the weakest impact. Marine scientific research and industrial structure upgrading serve as key mediating factors, with the former demonstrating a stronger intermediary effect. Notable, marine capital investment positively moderates the relationship between financial development and marine economic growth.DiscussionThis study innovatively combines macro-finance and micro-finance indicators to construct a comprehensive financial development index system. It incorporates a multi-dimensional approach to measuring high-quality development in coastal regions, challenging one-size-fits-all models by highlighting regional variations. By providing insights into specific differences and underlying mechanisms, our study offers valuable guidance for policymakers in crafting region-specific strategies to leverage financial development for sustainable marine economic growth.

The extreme marine weather is a very vital factor and has important implications for of marine economic development. However, there is a lack of systematic and quantitative analyses of its impact on the marine economic development. Here, we study the impacts of extreme marine weather on marine economic development of 11 coastal regions in China, using the dynamic panel model. We found that extreme marine weather exerts a significant negative impact on the marine economic development. The marine scientific and technological innovation promotes marine economic development in a prominent manner. The marine scientific and technological innovation slows down the unfavorable impact of extreme marine weather on the marine economy. After considering different industries for marine economic development and heterogeneity, we found that extreme marine weather and marine scientific and technological innovation have a great impact on marine economic development in the tertiary industry and the areas with high development concerning marine economy level, while deliver a small impact on the marine economic development in the primary industry and the areas low development level. This paper empirically studies the relationship between the two variables of marine extreme weather and marine science and technology innovation and its impact on marine economic development, enriches the research perspective of extreme weather on marine economic development, and provides new method evidence for improving the level of marine scientific and technological innovation and promoting the development of marine economy.

In recent years, environmental problems have become an important bottleneck restricting the sustainable development of Marine economy in China. CO2 is one of the main greenhouse gases which contributes to marine environmental problems. As CO2 emissions can transfer among industries, identifying the industries that release CO2 most and clarifying the carbon emission flows among marine industries are helpful for decision-makers to curb CO2 emissions of marine industries. This paper applies the network method to measure carbon emission flows. First, carbon transfer coefficient is calculated. Second, carbon transfer network of marine industry is constructed based on carbon transfer coefficient. Then the structure of marine industry carbon transfer network is analyzed. Finally, the method proposed in this paper is applied to the case of China and some suggestions for carbon reduction is put forward.

The ocean economic input-output (IO) tables are essential databases for analyzing the ocean economy. However, the IO tables issued by Chinese government's statistical department adopt the conventional economic sector classifications, which fall short in capturing the heterogeneity of the ocean and land sectors. To fill this gap, we used the stripping coefficient method to construct the ocean economic IO tables of 11 coastal provinces in China, relying on the latest official provincial IO tables in 2017 and ocean economy data published by official institutions. The provincial ocean economic IO tables, which reflect the interconnectedness among 13 ocean sectors and 42 land sectors, could be widely used to support the ocean policy evaluation at the provincial level. To clarify the interlinkage between Chinese ocean economies and foreign economies, we further differentiated the Chinese ocean sectors from a global multi-regional input-output table that contains Chinese provinces. This dataset could be used to evaluate the development of ocean economy in China from a global perspective.
