In order to promote the coordinated and sustainable development of China′s logistics industry and marine industry, the paper comprehensively used neutral cross efficiency model, entropy method, coupling evaluation model and gravity center migration model, selected multi-level evaluation indicators including location entropy, systematically evaluated the logistics efficiency and marine industry agglomeration level of 11 coastal areas in China from 2008 to 2018, analyzed the spatial and temporal pattern characteristics of the coordination relationship between the two and put forward development suggestions. The results showed that from 2008 to 2018, the logistics efficiency and the level of marine industry agglomeration in China′s coastal areas showed an increasing trend, but there was still a large development space and there were large regional differences. The overall coupling coordination degree of logistics efficiency and marine industry agglomeration level had been continuously improved and had developed from primary coordination to intermediate coordination. The coupling coordination level of various coastal areas had varied from near-disorder to good coordination and the center of coupling coordination degree basically showed a NE-SW migration trend. To improve the coordination between logistics efficiency and the level of marine industry agglomeration, the construction of logistics infrastructure should be strengthened and adhered to the two-way linkage between land and sea, and promote the flow of resource elements.
