A circular (business) activity is defined here as an initiative that passed the minimum efficient scale or pilot phase, moving to a greater maturity level.
Examples of circular (business) activities can be found under Cases on this website.
Port Mangement Bodies (PMBs) are not always aware or alert to the number and nature of circular (business) activities in the port area. To feed (start and update) the indicator, the PMB can organize periodic surveys (whether or not as part of a larger survey) and/or arrange a notification with the port community in the port area.
The indicator does not consider the size and quality of the circular (business) activities, nor the R-level of circularity the activities relates to.
The count is restricted to the port area, a legally defined territory which is under the management of the Port Management Body (PMB). For example, the boundaries of the Flemish ports are determined by a decision of the Flemish Government.
