About
The Maritime Forum aims to improve communication amongst EU maritime policy stakeholders. It allows parties interested in the EU maritime policy to communicate on a common platform. They can publish events, documents and follow developments in their areas of interest.
A newsletter with interesting articles from the Maritime Forum communities is issued in spring and autumn.
