We exist to turn coordination into opportunity – creating clear pathways to skilled careers, delivering measurable social value, and driving long-term economic growth for the region. By aligning industry, education and place, we unlock value no single organisation can achieve alone.

We are more than a network. Tees Maritime acts as a convener and catalyst, bringing the right voices together at the right time. We advocate for the sector, shape policy and skills frameworks, and amplify Teesside’s voice nationally – ensuring the maritime supply chain is visible, investable and future-ready. From early engagement with young people to strategic coordination with government and industry, our focus is on impact that lasts.

Maritime on Teesside goes far beyond ports. It spans energy, manufacturing, logistics, digital and the wider supply chain. Our role is to connect these parts into a coherent, trusted collective – strengthening the regional skills pipeline, supporting sustainable growth, and future-proofing the industry and the people who depend on it.

By joining Tees Maritime, organisations become part of a coordinated effort to strengthen the region’s maritime economy, support future talent, and help shape what comes next for Teesside.
