The Chamber of Shipping is the trade association for UK-based shipowners and shipmanagers, working to promote and protect the interests of its members both nationally and internationally.
With 137 members and associate members, the Chamber represents over 898 ships of about 23 million gross tonnes and is recognised as the voice of the UK shipping industry.
The Chamber works with the Government, Parliament, international organisations, unions and the general public on behalf of the sectors that make up the shipping industry to ensure that the UK continues to be a global centre for shipping business - with world-class standards and an internationally competitive and consistent fiscal and policy environment.
