In today’s volatile trading environment, staying ahead of global developments is not a luxury – it’s a business imperative.
With recent tariff announcements destabilising the global market, UK marine businesses need to retain their proven agility and, with support from central government, navigate through the current uncertainties which risk disrupting supply chains and stalling demand.
That is why British Marine has launched the International Marine Trade Hub – a new member resource designed to direct you through to essential information on major tariff announcements and advice on exporting to the US and elsewhere. You will also find the latest information on British Marine’s engagement with government and our international partners in an effort to help improve trading conditions for the industry.
Informed by intelligence from the Department for Business & Trade, international partners and insights from British Marine members, this new Trade Hub will continue to evolve, providing a useful, resource with the latest updates on key trade developments and advice for members to successfully navigate their way through the global turbulence to further growth opportunities.
Why it matters to your business
With the US and Europe being the UK marine industry’s most important trading partners, combined with industry’s significant reliance on components from China, the recent and ongoing developments may well impact future supply chain decisions and export strategies.

- Details of upcoming member events
- Updates on Tariffs 2025, including US Tariffs & responses by trading partners
