About the Chamber of Shipping

The Chamber of Shipping is the trade association for the UK shipping industry, working to promote and protect the
interests of its members both nationally and internationally.

With 137 members and associate members, the Chamber represents over 917 ships of about 26.9 million gross tons and is recognised as the voice of the UK shipping industry.

The Chamber works with government, parliament, international organisations and all elements of the maritime cluster on behalf of the sectors that make up the shipping industry (including deep-sea bulk, short-sea bulk, containers, ferry, cruise, offshore support and specialised operators) to ensure the UK's continued success as the global maritime centre and recognition of shipping's contribution to the UK economy.
