The voice of maritime in northern UK
Uniting maritime across the north of the UK
Maritime Up North brings together charities, companies and like-minded people to promote, support and grow the maritime industry from the Humber to the Scottish coast.
Championing the maritime industry in the north
Inspired by the success of regional maritime partnerships, Maritime Up North exists to connect the people and organisations shaping the future of shipping, ports, offshore energy and marine engineering across northern England, Scotland and the Irish Sea.
We are a not-for-profit membership association run by the industry, for the industry. Whether you operate a fleet, run a maritime charity, supply specialist services or train the next generation of seafarers, you have a home here.
“Our goal is simple: make the north of the UK the best place in Europe to build, operate and grow a maritime business.”
