Foreword
I am delighted to have been invited to provide this foreword. The marime industry is a strategically important one for the UK in terms of ports, marime business services, marine engineering, manufacturing and shipping.
Lord Henley
The government has a clearly stated objecve to consider, promote and grow the sector. The priories will be to improve compeveness and producvity. I am pleased to say that
there are a number of construcve and strategic work streams underway being led by both government and industry.
The recently published Naonal Shipbuilding Strategy will change the way the Ministry of Defence procures naval ships. This review will result in an efficient and effecve delivery of brand new naval ships designed to meet the UK’s defence needs in the 21st century. The strategy will also help us understand how UK shipbuilding can maximise prosperity at naonal and regional level. We commissioned Ipsos MORI to help us beer understand the regional economic impact of procurement on the areas where major shipbuilding firms are located, as well as the contribuon to UK prosperity. Ipsos MORI found that the local area is likely to benefit from a net increase in jobs. In addion, the jobs created are on average beer paid, leading to gains in income, producvity and output.
I am pleased that the Society of Marime Industries is playing an important role in hosng the Marime Enterprise Working Group, which will bring together industry and government to ensure the UK maximises the benefits the Naonal Shipbuilding Strategy offers.
The Naonal Shipbuilding Strategy supports the government’s Industrial Strategy. The White Paper has replaced the Industrial Strategy Green Paper published last year. The Industrial Strategy is about us facing up to the challenges that have held the UK back
Lord Henley Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy
for too long and building an economy which delivers high wages, high skills, high producvity and creates the condions for compeve, world leading businesses right across the UK. The government wants to embed a long‐term approach for the next 10‐20 years. We are engaging far and wide with industry, ensuring that together we build an enduring approach.
The global ocean economy is predicted to double by 2030 driven by growing resource demand and new technologies. The Government Office for Science ‘Foresight Future of the Sea’ report will demonstrate the importance of the sea to the UK. It brings together the evidence to inform the UK’s response to a wide range of global challenges and opportunies. To be successful, we will need industry, science and policy to work together.
Looking further into the future, the Department for Transport is developing a forward looking strategy called ‘Marime 2050’. It is a work stream running alongside the Marime Growth Strategy on the future likely shape of the UK marime industry. It will consider what is needed to deliver a sector in 2050 that is meeng its potenal.
I commend the Society of Marime Industries for its posive engagement with government and for its role in Marime UK. This single industry‐wide promoonal body has been effecve in fostering collaboraon on key issues. A similarly posive engagement with forthcoming iniaves will ensure that this success story connues and reaps many benefits for the marime industry in the UK.
