Maritime UK, the single promotional body for the UK’s marine and maritime industry, has launched Maritime Week as an opportunity to shine a spotlight on the maritime sector, its role and future. It is a week packed with events across the breadth of the sector and length of the country.

The maritime sector is the fundamental enabler of British global trade – facilitating 95% of all UK trade, totalling £500bn, supports just under one million jobs and contributes around £40bn to UK GDP, making it one of Britain’s biggest industries. UK marine and maritime businesses also export their own innovative products and services right across the globe.

With cutting-edge technology, high-quality design and manufacturing, unparalleled expertise in services and major investment opportunities, the UK is the natural home for global maritime business. The sector also enables millions of people to enjoy the recreational benefits of the UK’s coastal and inland waterways.

The opening day of the 50th anniversary of TheYachtMarket.com Southampton Boat Show (14 – 23 September) will be taking place towards the end of Maritime Week. The Show provides the perfect showcase for the UK’s marine industry, as well as a fantastic opportunity for boaters and novices alike to enjoy everything that being on the water has to offer.

Find out more about TheYachtMarket.com Southampton Boat Show 2018 by visiting the Shows website.

More information, including a list of events, on Maritime Week is available from the Maritime UK website.
