Trinity House joins Maritime UK
Since the publication of the Maritime Growth Study, Maritime UK has become the promotional body for the UK maritime sector, bringing together for the first time the UK shipping, ports, marine and business service sectors. UK navaids provider Trinity House has become Maritime UKs 15th member.
Maritime UK has brought together existing organisational bodies from across the whole maritime sector to drive growth; setting up working groups to address all the important issues facing the sector, including skills, marketing, exports and maritime strategy.
As the engine of British trade and with a world leading marine manufacturing sector, the UK maritime industry supports over 500,000 jobs, contributes £22.2bn to UK GDP and drives exports and inward investment.
Welcoming Trinity House to Maritime UK, Chairman David Dingle CBE said:”We are delighted to welcome Trinity House into Maritime UK membership. Very few play a more active role in the life of our maritime nation. We’re looking forward to working with Trinity House to promote the UK’s maritime sector, an even more important task in the context of Brexit.”
