Maritime Minister, Keir Mather, is visiting Birkenhead’s Cammell Laird shipyard today (September 15) to highlight a £1.1bn joint government and industry investment into the UK maritime sector – including £150m for the North West.
The aim is to boost growth and jobs, including in the engineering, green technology and construction sectors.
Also coinciding with the first day of London International Shipping Week (LISW), the funding includes £700m of private investment for major UK ports and leading industry players, including Liverpool-based Peel Ports Group, as well as £448m of public investment to reduce emissions from UK shipping.
