Maritime UK Manifesto

Maritime UK is the umbrella organisation convening the maritime industries of the United Kingdom including ports, professional services, leisure marine, shipping and engineering. We provide a single high-level voice which represents a incredible sector worth more than £116 billion annually, supporting almost 1.1 million jobs. Maritime UK supports and encourages industry representation from every corner of the UK to speak for the various maritime eco-systems and sub-sectors.

As a general election looms, Maritime UK along with its members are using this opportunity to set out its 2024 Manifesto. The Maritime Manifesto 2024 outlines recommendations and opportunities for the future government centring around three themes:

  • People
  • Infrastructure
  • Green Fuels
Maritime encapsulates one of our greatest national assets, Britain’s heritage as an island nation. We want to assist the future government in nurturing this asset and make the UK a global leader in maritime.

The Maritime Manifesto 2024 represents the consensus of shared policy priorities across the entire maritime sector. Our members are eager to work with the future administrations within this shared vision on areas that touch their respective industries more closely.
