The UK as an island nation had a proud maritime heritage and strong international reputation for leadership in the maritime sector. However, as a large and diverse sector there isn\u2019t a combined roadmap for how he UK can maintain a strategic advantage. Other sectors like aerospace and automotive have defined technology roadmaps used to forge collaboration and set a clear demand signal, maritime needs to do the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A National Maritime Research and Technology Roadmap will enable:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1375\" height=\"655\" src=\"https:\/\/marri-uk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Aim-Roadmap.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2721\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Engagement and consultation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-boulder-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-cb3e93548183304adc7b5380643200f8 wp-block-paragraph\">Input Workshop: <a href=\"https:\/\/marri-uk.org\/index.php\/events\/\">12th Nov 2025, Port of Tyne, South Shields<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-body-text-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-f0442cd28a5ebd781cb87f037f05473b wp-block-paragraph\">Input Workshop: <a href=\"https:\/\/marri-uk.org\/index.php\/events\/\">26 Nov 2025, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-body-text-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6364b559fb18ac001e30c059b6b48f2f wp-block-paragraph\">Input Workshop: <a href=\"https:\/\/marri-uk.org\/index.php\/events\/\">5th Dec 2025, Online<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-body-text-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-32d0229d1c7a8bf1bd94bdd446cd4851 wp-block-paragraph\">Validation Workshop: <a href=\"https:\/\/marri-uk.org\/index.php\/events\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"938\">22nd Jan 2026, London<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-body-text-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-d42579f3519ed87d9c9298c07e975fbc wp-block-paragraph\">Validation Workshop for ports sector: <a href=\"https:\/\/marri-uk.org\/index.php\/events\/uk-national-maritime-research-and-technology-roadmap-validation-workshop\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"2848\">13th Feb 2026, Online<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-body-text-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1601a357ff2baeacad82b5a6c176c30c wp-block-paragraph\">Validation Workshop: <a href=\"https:\/\/marri-uk.org\/index.php\/events\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"938\">16th Feb 2026, Glasgow<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-boulder-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-0b0c27424cf17cee7dccd8765fa86d29 wp-block-paragraph\">Validation Workshop: <a href=\"https:\/\/marri-uk.org\/index.php\/events\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"938\">25th Feb 2026, Liverpool<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-boulder-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-fb848f8c03f28de91acbc7f22747f7b4 wp-block-paragraph\">Other validation workshops in plan: Jan-Feb 2026, Plymouth\/Exeter\/Bristol, Online<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-boulder-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9f432ca6012658a55acee6f59022de45 wp-block-paragraph\">Individual interviews: Dec &#8211; Feb 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you would like to participate in any of the workshops or talk to the team directly, please email:<strong> <\/strong>marri-uk-dmem@strath.ac.uk.<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Planned release date<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">August 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Maritime Technology Systems Catalogue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the national Roadmap sets our long-term ambitions, this Catalogue provides the concrete engineering substance.
