Resumo(s)
More than 70% of Earth's surface is covered by the ocean. It is this ocean that sustains
the life and well-being of the entire planet, not only because of the diverse ecosystem that feeds
and protects the earth, but also because it serves as a transportation route for most of the goods
and services that supply the planet. The way the society organized itself, the ocean became
indispensable for the global economy, representing a global social and economic impact. Given
this importance, specialists are increasingly alerting to the need for a more sustainable approach
to the use of the ocean, in order to minimize the risks in which the ocean is exposed on a daily
basis. From this concern was born the idea of the “Blue Economy”.
This dissertation researched one specific fund related to the Blue Economy: the EEA
Grants. The EEA Grants is a growth program funded by Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway
with the aim of reducing social and economic disparities in Europe. The work was focused on
Mário Ruivo Research Vessel and its project specificities. The work analyzed the project from
the conception funding until the cost structure of nowadays, when the vessel is operating. In the
end of the dissertation, the results were analyzed in order to better understand the profits and
losses of the Mário Ruivo Research Vessel project, funded by the EEA Grants.
