Busy week! It was all hands on deck for the UK Chamber of Shipping's inaugural ⚓️🇬🇧🚢 Shipping UK conference at the QEII Centre on Tuesday 8 October.

🚢✨ The countdown is on! ✨🚢 In just two weeks we will launch the National Awareness Campaign for the UK Shipping Industry!

Yesterday, we launched our Decarbonisation Timeline during our conference, #ShippingUK, at the QEII Centre. This document sets out a roadmap for the UK shipping industry to reach net zero by 2050, with a proposed £700m of investment in the upcoming Budget to help make the UK a hub for clean #shipping. Our investment priorities: ✅ Continuing to fund research and development funding through UK SHORE. ✅ Providing shore power so #ships 🚢 can plug in at ports instead of running their engines. ✅ Protecting essential ferry ⛴ services from costly emission trading scheme fees until they can fully decarbonise. ✅ Ensuring the UK maritime sector has the necessary skills and workforce for the future.

Yesterday was a long day but an important (and successful!) one for everyone at UK Chamber of Shipping with our first ever conference ShippingUK 2024. We had over 300 delegates including members, senior civil servants, the media and our trade association partners join us to discuss issues including data transformation, maritime tourism, AI, supply chains and ship building. We also heard from the Secretary of State for Transport Louise Haigh MP in one of her first maritime speeches about the Government’s vision for shipping and its vital role in UK prosperity. It was great to see all the breakout sessions well attended and the feedback from delegates has been excellent. Thanks to all the sponsors and everyone involved for making yesterday such a success.
