Welcome to Sea and Water

	part of the European Short Sea network

Maximising the use of water freight requires a supportive UK and European framework. Sea and Water acts independently of Government, and so is able to influence UK and European government policy in relevant areas.

Our lobbying activity is underpinned by campaigning materials such as The Case for Water, launched in 2006, and A Vision for UK Freight Trends Towards 2018, launched earlier this year.


	Logistics professionals need to know about the opportunity that water offers. Sea and Water provides a range of platforms to bring together different groups to deliver increased water freight services and to encourage better understanding of waterborne transport.
