SEAaT and UK Chamber of Shipping announce reciprocal membership

John Aitken, secretary general, SEAaT, said: “SEAaT has been working closely with the UK Chamber of Shipping for a number of years. We have a close alignment based on our respective organisations’ views on reducing emissions to air from shipping. SEAaT is delighted this existing close relationship has been recognised by a more formal agreement and we are sure that this will benefit both organisations.”

Mark Brownrigg, director general, UK Chamber of Shipping, said: “Given that our two organisations have worked so closely together for many years on a raft of key environmental issues, I very much welcome that we have set this relationship onto a more formal footing. The detailed technical knowledge and experience that SEAaT offers, coupled with our wider industry base, will give us a powerful voice in current and future debates.”
