The purpose of this research is to estimate the prospects and\npossibilities of establishing maritime logistics clusters in Georgia. Cluster\nforms of activities, particularly maritime logistic clusters, have been the\nobject of the study in this article. The main method of the research is a\ncomparative analysis of the advantages and limitations of cluster forming\nand functioning of maritime logistics. Development of maritime logistics\nclusters, in the article, is considered as using of transport industry potential\nthrough the development of logistics processes for the creation of additional\nvalue. Sea ports are considered as important links in the logistics chain.\nCreation of maritime cluster was studied in the article on the basis of Batumi\nand Poti Sea Ports, what should increase the competitiveness of both the port\nand other companies - cluster members. Creating a cluster provides synergies\nand new opportunities for innovative handling of technological operations in\nport logistics. The implementation of the logistics cluster business model\nbased on the Batumi Sea Port should facilitate the involvement of industry,\ntransport and logistics companies in the impact zone of the port logistics.\nThe result of the maritime logistics cluster operation should strengthen the\nposition of Batumi Sea Port in Georgia, both in the terms of transit goods\nmaintenance and in the economic development of country as well. The paper\ncontains the main prerequisites for the forming and functioning of maritime\nlogistics cluster in Batumi and Poti Sea Ports: significant untapped potential\nin marine, cargo storage and air cargo logistics; completion of Georgia-\nTurkey railway will open new possibilities in efficient transportation. In the\narticle was concluded that marine and railway development will stimulate\nroad transport and logistics centers development. Development of transport\nsystem will significantly improve competitiveness of Georgian products in\nprice.
