2. Ben Murray, Director of Maritime UK
In the first episode of Maritime Careers I speak with Ben Murray the Director Maritime UK. We speak about what role Maritime plays to the UK economy; what attracted him to working in the industry, as he was not maritime before, and what opportunities are available. We both had a lot of fund diving back into our past careers in maritime.
Maritime UK is the umbrella body for the maritime sector, bringing together the shipping, ports, services, engineering and leisure marine industries. Our purpose is to champion and enable a thriving maritime sector.
Supporting over 1 million jobs and adding £46.1bn to our economy, maritime is responsible for facilitating 95% of UK global trade, worth over £500bn per year. The UK maritime workforce is 42% more productive than the average UK worker.
Maritime makes a greater contribution to the UK economy than both rail and air combined.
The sector the fundamental enabler of British global trade and exports its own innovative products and services. With cutting-edge technology, high-quality design & manufacturing, unparalleled expertise in services and major investment opportunities, the UK is the natural home for global maritime business.
Maritime is a vital part of our island nation's heritage and of our modern economy – supporting jobs, driving innovation and enabling trade. The sector also enables millions of people to enjoy the recreational benefits of the UK's coastal and inland waterways.
Our members are: British Marine, British Ports Association, Cornwall Marine Network, CLIA UK & Ireland, Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers, London International Shipping Week, Maritime London, Mersey Maritime, Nautilus International, Seafarers UK, Society of Maritime Industries, Solent LEP, South Coast Marine Cluster, The Baltic Exchange, Trinity House, UK Chamber of Shipping and the UK Major Ports Group.
