How to get involved with the work of Maritime UK
Maritime UK South West is affiliated with the national cluster Maritime UK, which is the umbrella body for the maritime sector, bringing together the shipping, ports, services, engineering and leisure marine industries. Together our purpose is to champion and enable a thriving maritime sector and we also have responsibility for the coordination and delivery of industry recommendations within the Maritime 2050 strategy.
Our work is focused on five key areas: people, competitiveness, innovation, regional growth and the environment. Across all, there are ways to get stuck in. These range from joining working groups, submitting case studies and being an industry ambassador inspiring the next generation
Event Northern Devon Marine - Floating Offshore Wind opportunities ahead 13th May
An event to raise awareness of the forthcoming Celtic Sea Floating Offshore Wind opportunities and the potential for your business to be part of a future supply chain. Hear from Regen (leading environmental consultants) about the outcomes of a detailed study into the potential for businesses opportunity across the SW to access the supply chain as well as Innovate UK, floating offshore wind and tidal stream energy developers and key industry bodies.
Green Tech Boatshow & Clean Marine Innovation showcase 16-18th June
Following the success of the first Green Tech Boat Show last year, the show will take place again this year at its Queen Anne’s Battery, Plymouth, 16-18 June 2022. In 2022 the first day of the Green Tech Boat Show will be focussed exclusively on clean marine innovation, “The Clean Marine Innovation Showcase” will create a unique forum for government, research and business to come together to exchange ideas, showcase new innovations, network and do business. On the agenda – UKShore a £130M programme to decarbonise maritime, Sail GP, Composite Recycling, investment masterclass, how to access R&D tax credits.
Horizon Europe Overview - draft 2023 calls
With a combined research budget of 15 billion Euro and a dedicated network to bring forward maritime innovation Horizon Europe is worth a look. The calls for 2022 will soon be submitted but we have a draft of what next years programme might look to help form ideas and partnerships for next years programme.
Innovation in time resilience, dissemination and application - feasibility
Innovate UK is working with the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) to invest up to £4.7 million in innovation projects that contribute to resilient time, frequency and synchronisation (TFS) and its dissemination and application.
Clean Maritime Demo Competition Showcase Event
In March 2021, the Department for Transport (DfT) launched the Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition, which allocated over £23m of research and development funding to 55 projects across the UK.
The CMDC supported the design and development of zero emission shipping technologies and greener ports through a series of technology trials and feasibility studies to accelerate maritime decarbonisation. The competition ended in March 2022.
To celebrate the achievements of the CMDC, DfT, Innovate UK and Innovate UK KTN are hosting a final showcase event on the 24th May at Portsmouth International Port.
Innovation Loans Future Economy Competition – Round 1
Innovate UK is offering up to £25 million in loans to micro, small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs). Loans are for highly innovative late stage research and development (R&D) projects with the best potential for the future. There should be a clear route to commercialisation and economic impact.
Smart Sound Plymouth - MASG Seminar
Gain an insight into what exciting projects the Smart Sound Plymouth are working on and get an update on their Wolfson Foundation funding.
The Smart Sound facilitates trials, validation and proving of marine innovative technologies across a diverse environment. All missions will be facilitated by a dedicated team in compliance with MAS codes of conduct and de-conflicted with other water users. From trials in shallow benign environments to deeper hostile waters Smart Sound can facilitate a wide range of conditions to suit the user’s particular requirements.
Industry Workshop on Celtic Sea FLOW: Lifecycle of a floating wind farm
Floating Offshore Wind industry focused workshop exploring themes relating to the lifecycle of a FLOW farm. Fri, 8 July 2022 09:30 – 14:30
An evolution of the 2 day research conference PRIMaRE (Partnership for Research in Marine Renewable Energy) that is being hosted by Exeter University this year, this FLOW lifecycle workshop is an industry focused day that will facilitate collaborative thinking between research and industry on floating offshore wind (FLOW). The key aim is to identify and explore opportunities within the themes of:
• Anchoring and Moorings
• Ports
• Marine Operations
Maritime Decarbonisation and the UK Ports response via Clean Maritime Demonstrator Projects Webinar
To explore perspectives and inspire the supply chain to learn from relevant Clean Maritime Demonstrator projects underway in Ports which focus on:
Port of Tyne and Renewable Microgrids
Port of Aberdeen and Shore Power
Portsmouth International Port and Hydrogen & Vessel Refit
