How can the commercial workboat sector contribute to Defence as an engine for growth?

The commercial workboat sector has a significant role to play in supporting the objectives of the Defence Industrial Strategy 2025: Making Defence an Engine for Growth. By providing versatile, cost-effective, and innovative maritime solutions, the sector can enhance defence capabilities while contributing to economic growth and national resilience.
Workboats support a wide range of defence activities, including logistics, port operations, training, and maritime security, allowing military assets to focus on core operational roles. The sector’s ability to integrate cutting-edge technologies, such as autonomous systems, advanced sensors, and sustainable propulsion, aligns with the MOD’s goals of modernisation and environmental sustainability.

Join the webinar to explore how the commercial workboat industry strengthens the UK’s defence supply chain, fosters innovation, and supports high-value jobs, particularly in coastal and regional economies.
