SMI Joins Coastlink 2026 as Official Supporter

The Society of Marine Industries (SMI), the UK’s leading trade body for short sea shipping, has joined the growing group of supporters for Coastlink, 6-7th May 2026 in Hull. Representing companies operating along domestic and European coastal routes, SMI drives innovation, promotes sustainable practices, and advocates for a more efficient and resilient maritime transport network.
Short sea shipping is a critical part of the UK’s logistics landscape, offering a greener, less congested alternative to road freight. At Coastlink 2026, SMI’s insights will help delegates understand the latest developments, challenges, and opportunities in this fast-evolving sector — from policy changes to technological innovations that are shaping the future of coastal shipping.
SMI members benefit from a 15% discount on Coastlink registration, making it easier than ever to join the conversation, network with industry leaders, and explore practical solutions that strengthen the UK’s maritime supply chains.
