Mapping the UK’s Small Commercial Marine Industry


British Marine’s project to map the UK’s small commercial marine industry has entered the next important stage in its work in the run up to Seawork International 2018.



The small commercial marine sector in the UK supports nearly 2,000 employees and generates revenues of approximately £182m

It has launched a short but important survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/SmallCommercialMarineSurvey2018 which aims to help it map the sector, understand the companies operating in it and where the growth opportunities lie going forward.

“The aim of this work is to provide more data to help the industry engage with stakeholders, like the UK Government, but also to better understand the opportunities and risks facing the sector. Something we know the sector is crying out for,” said Andrew Harries, senior external relations & communications executive, British Marine.

PRELIMINARY DATA
At Seawork 2017, British Marine and its group association, Commercial Marine, published its preliminary data on the UK's small commercial marine industry.

It’s now calling on all commercial marine members to both complete the survey and also encourage companies in their supply chain to complete it too. As an incentive, British Marine is offering the chance to win £100 worth of Amazon vouchers.

The small commercial marine sector in the UK supports nearly 2,000 employees and generating revenues of approximately £182m. However, this is a very conservative estimate of the value of the market.

The industry currently has limited market data to inform businesses operating in, or looking to expand into, the small commercial sector, hence the need for more research.

Any questions on the survey should be submitted to Alastair Wilson at awilson@britishmarine.co.uk.

British Marine will be releasing the next set of results and findings from the survey at Seawork International 2018 on Stand PY93.

Seawork 2018 dates announced

We've finally been able to announce the dates for the 21st anniversary edition of Seawork International! It will be held from 3-5 July 2018 in Mayflower Park, Southampton UK. Unfortunately we had to move away from our usual mid-June slot as our usual dates would mean there won't be enough water to accommodate the Seawork Marina which is obviously a vital part of the exhibition. Various other events in the Commercial Marine Calendar and also in Mayflower Park; the home of Seawork, have resulted in a slightly later event. We have also announced our dates for 2019 which are 11 - 13 June 2019. The Sales team are currently busy re-booking our existing clients who have until 31st August to get their forms back. Then we allow 2 weeks to move customers to new / larger stands before opening to general sale on 19th September. There is a discounted price in place until the 1st October for new business so make sure you contact the sales team in time to take advantage of this! Email
