Published on: 20 January 2022

On 10 March 2022, theMaritime UKAwards 2022 will be held in Glasgow. From a judging panel of internationally recognised maritime leaders to an awards evening at the Glasgow Science Centre, the Maritime UK Awards are a unique and impactful way to showcase your business, and collectively, to celebrate a thriving sector, worth £46.1bn to the UK economy.

The Awards are open to organisations from across the breadth of the maritime sector and its component shipping, ports services, engineering, and leisure marine industries. The UK government launched its first long-term strategy for the sector, Maritime 2050. This will enable many of the projects entered for the 2022 awards being delivered in response to Maritime 2050 to be brought to national prominence.

The Maritime UK Awards are being held at the Glasgow Science Centre, on the banks of the River Clyde. This has been chosen as a suitable venue for the 2022 awards to build upon the sector's activity at COP26.

There was a lot of significant activity during 2021 with events such as; Freeport, the National Shipping Strategy, Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition, London's International Shipping Week, COP26 and October's Budget and Spending review, where the Chancellor announced reforms to Tonnage Tax. This gives the 2022 award a perfect opportunity for the industry to showcase and celebrate the growing number of world-leading projects helping to ensure the UK's position as the most innovative, competitive and sustainable maritime centre by the middle of this century.
