Membership
Join the northern maritime network
Membership is open to any organisation or individual with a stake in maritime across the north of the UK — from major ports and operators to charities, colleges and one-person consultancies.
What membership gives you
A seat at the table
Have your say on the issues we take to government, regulators, ports and funding bodies on behalf of the region.
Introductions that matter
We connect members directly to the ports, operators, suppliers and training providers they need to work with.
Listing in our member directory
Your organisation featured on our members page, alongside the wider northern UK maritime directory.
Skills and recruitment support
Links into cadetships, apprenticeships and STCW training routes to help you build and keep your crews and shore teams.
Intelligence and updates
Regulatory change, funding calls and tender opportunities shared with members as they happen.
Events and forums
Member briefings, regional meet-ups and partner events across the north — with speaking and sponsorship options.
