The UK’s shipping association has launched its four-point plan for the 2019 General Election. In its ‘Stand up for Shipping’ manifesto, the Chamber calls for more investment to make the UK a world leader in green maritime technology and tax credits for companies who invest in research and development to help cement the UK as a world leading shipping nation. Specifically, the four-point plan asks each political party to:
- Ensure the UK continues to be a world leading place to do business
- Support the decarbonisation of the shipping industry
- Help companies provide training schemes for those seeking a career at sea
- Work with global partners to ensure frictionless trade
