Pembroke Port, a Welsh port owned and operated by the Port of Milford Haven, has partnered with Global Underwater Hub, the leading trade and industry development body for the UK's underwater sectors, to host an event on 12th September for the Welsh subsea supply chain to engage directly with them and discover how their extensive resources, networks, and industry insights can benefit subsea operations.

Starting with a breakfast sponsored by Williams Shipping, a marine services and logistics company with a base at Pembroke Port, the introductory event will run from 9-11am, giving attendees the chance to learn more about Global Underwater Hub’s experience, knowledge, networks and membership.

Sharon Adams, Commercial Manager at Pembroke Port commented: “This is a great chance for the Welsh subsea supply chain industry to get together with likeminded people and learn more about not only Global Underwater Hub, but also Pembroke Port and the great businesses that are based here like Williams Shipping. If you're looking to deepen your understanding of the underwater industry and explore new opportunities for growth, this is an event you won't want to miss!”

Andy Williamson, Global Underwater Hub Business Development Director added: “The UK’s £8billion underwater industry is a diverse space that covers the offshore energy, defence, aquaculture, marine science and subsea cable sectors.  As the leading trade and industry development body for the UK’s £8billion underwater industry, Global Underwater Hub is keen to engage with companies that see the potential for their technology or services to be utilised in these areas.  Developments in offshore wind in the Celtic Sea and potential tidal power generation off the Pembrokeshire coast illustrate the market opportunities that exist for companies in south Wales to engage in the underwater industry.  This joint event with Pembroke Port is an ideal platform for us to outline these and showcase the support we can offer from our Bristol office.”

Notes to Editors

Port of Milford Haven

The Port of Milford Haven is the UK’s top energy port and Wales’ busiest port handling around 20% of Britain’s seaborne trade in oil and gas.  It is widely recognised in the industry as the energy capital of the UK.

The Port, along with the cluster of energy-related businesses along the Waterway, is a key driver of economic activity in Pembrokeshire, attracting inward investment and supporting over 4,000 jobs.

The Port of Milford Haven also owns and operates Pembroke Port and Milford Dock.  Activities such as cargo handling, ferry operations, fish landing and cruise calls as well as a first class marina are spread across these two sites. 

One of the most prominent on the West Coast, the Port is in the heart of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, the only Coastal National Park in Great Britain. It is marked as a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and has many areas designated as Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).

The Port of Milford Haven is a trust port – an independent, commercially run organisation that has statutory responsibilities governed by its Acts, to maintain and improve navigation and the provision of Port and Harbour services and facilities.  Additionally, the Port provides significant financial and in-kind support to a wide variety of local causes.  All profits are retained within the business to fund these objectives.
