How can we ensure the security and resilience of future supply chains of critical resources for the UK maritime sector? To which international factors are the supply chains most sensitive and how do we mitigate these disruption risks?

We aim to foster sustainable economic growth in the UK maritime sector and to remain a key global player in international trade and shipping. To build supply chain resilience and establish effective green shipping corridors, we must remain well-informed of global developments so to better support UK ports, shippers, and vessel operators.
