Mersey Maritime was established in 2003 to represent and act on behalf of the 1700 maritime-related companies across the Liverpool City Region. With over 200 members, we are considered to be an excellent example of a regional maritime cluster. We organise a range of monthly networking and training events and deliver forums for our members to shape the future of the maritime sector. We are the hosts of the hugely successful Mersey Maritime Industry Awards (MMIA), which in 2017 brought together over 400 guests to celebrate the success of the maritime, logistics and energy sectors in the Liverpool City Region. The MMIA's will turn 5 in 2019, and we have set our sights on turning this into a national event, accepting applications from across the UK! Our Board is made up of industry leaders, including representatives from ACL, Bibby Line, Peel Ports Group, Liverpool John Moores Univerity and Wirral Borough Council, (to name a few). John Hulmes, Chairman of Mersey Maritime is also Vice Chair of Maritime UK, and Chris Shirling-Rooke, CEO of Mersey Maritime is also Chair of the UK Regional Clusters Board at Maritime UK. We have the ability to hear and respond to the needs of our industry through strong links with Maritime UK and the UK Government.
