ICYMI: Maritime UK's Year in Review
Each Christmas Maritime UK writes a year-end review, sharing key activities and developments for the organisation and wider sector across the year. This year, again, we have seen real progress by Maritime UK and its members, as well as in close partnership with the government.
There have been several headline policy wins as well as strengthening industry commitment to delivering Maritime 2050, particularly through industry-led programmes. There have also been significant headwinds, but the sector has worked well together to respond. There will be much to do in 2023, not least in working with government to produce a Clean Maritime Plan that helps move the dial on maritime decarbonisation, but we are in a strong position to be able to deliver on the level of ambition shared across industry.?
