The UK Chamber of Shipping is the trade association and voice of the UK shipping industry, with around 150 members from across the maritime sector. We work with Government, Parliament, international organisations and others to champion and protect the UK Shipping industry on behalf of our members.
Value of Membership

Becoming a member is the only way you can influence that strategy.
· Develop industry policy. Direct input into our policy committees, working with Chamber staff and fellow members to identify emerging threats and exploit new opportunities.
