The UK Chamber of Shipping and its members are committed to continuously reduce shipping’s footprint on the environment and protect it for present and future generations. 

Speaking at the UK Chamber of Shipping Annual Dinner , Chamber President John Denholm CBE called on the International Maritime Organisation to take more decisive action to cut emissions from the international shipping industry.

After extensive lobbying from the UK Chamber of Shipping and Nautilus International, the Government has confirmed it has tabled an amendment to the new Nationality and Borders Bill expressly exempting seafarers from criminal prosecution who are required by law to rescue people at sea.

Committed to a cleaner future, the global shipping industry is undergoing a transformative journey. 'Making Waves: The Future of Shipping' an exclusive new programme produced in collaboration with CWP, shines a spotlight on the efforts already underway and sends a clear call for continued ambitious action in order to decarbonise.

The UK Chamber of Shipping has become the latest organisation to sign the Call to Action for Shipping Decarbonisation which urges world leaders to align shipping with the Paris Agreement temperature goal.

At COP26 in Glasgow, the Government has launched the Clydebank Declaration. 19 countries have declared their ambition and intent to support the establishment of green shipping corridors – zero-emission shipping routes between 2 ports.
