Scottish Shipping Initiative The purpose of the Scottish Shipping Initiative is to raise the profile of, and to promote, the Scottish shipping industry. It is intended to be a broad based association of companies and organisations with vested economic interests in the sector. We recognise that the glory days of shipbuilding and ship owning in this country have gone, but we continue to witness the wealth of skill, energy and enterprise that still exists within the industry; and believe that, if focused and founded on the common interest, this vitality can ensure a bright future. Shipping in this country is largely invisible to the public, government and to some extent its potential customers. The aim of the Initiative therefore is threefold:- to promote the industry commercially; to be a voice of the industry to the media, governments and administrations; and to take up a role in the education of the public, in particular children and students to encourage interest in careers in shipping, whether afloat or ashore.
