GET SET FOR WORKBOAT 2050
The Commercial Marine Network, in partnership with Seawork and Maritime Journal, introduce Series 2 of 'Get set for Workboat 2050'. An online conference series of expert panels navigating the waters of decarbonisation compliance and looking at critical aspects of vessel operations and safety in the workboat industry. Series 2 will deliver 5 free-to-attend sessions focussed on efficient business operations, optimising fleet performance, and safety in the working environment.
In association with The Workboat Association.
Owners, operators, fuel providers and engine manufacturers need to get on board with Workboat 2050.

The UKHMA continues to maintain and enhance the status of a respected and dynamic professional organisation with a voice that is heard both in Government and throughout the UK Maritime Industry. Moving forward we are anticipating an even closer working relationship regarding coordination and cooperation with all UK Maritime interests and organisations adding even more value in supporting our shared aims and objectives regarding best practice in UK Ports and Harbours.
Currently in excess of 90% of goods coming into the UK arrives by sea. In this new post-Brexit era, many traders which traditionally sent their ships to European hubs for their goods to be re-distributed will now be sending their goods directly to the UK. This coupled with newly developed ‘Freeports’ around our coast may further increase traffic through our Ports.
With ever larger ships now using our Ports, it is now more important than ever to have the professional skills of a Maritime Pilot on the bridge of a vessel when it comes to our harbours.
The SMI's purpose is to be the voice and champion the cause, of our UK maritime engineering, marine science and technology and business service members.
