Maritime UK Briefing Papers

Maritime UK prides itself on supporting MPs, Ministers and Civil Servants in their important roles.

Unlike other lobby groups, we do not believe simply in presenting legislators with a shopping list of demands. We seek to work with all stakeholders, educating them of the maritime services sector, informing them of key policy issues and advising them of the threats to the UK's position as a world-leading maritime centre.

The briefing papers provide a comprehensive list of active policy issues, sets out the background and current challenges, whilst making a list of recommendations that will help to maintain and build a solid business environment for shipping, port and maritime business companies to thrive.

Our policies fall into five key areas: environment, taxation and business climate, skills, planning and security.

Stakeholders should know that Maritime UK partners have a wealth of expertise, and are on hand to advise and support them.
