Scotland has a proud maritime history and is home to a vibrant and innovative maritime community.
Anchor Point Scotland was created to complement the excellent work already being delivered across the sector by providing an additional platform for people to come together in a relaxed and enjoyable setting.
By creating spaces for conversation and connection, Anchor Point Scotland aims to encourage new relationships, share ideas and support the continued growth of Scotland’s maritime community.
What is Anchor Point Scotland?
Anchor Point Scotland is a new maritime networking initiative created in association with London International Shipping Week, providing a dedicated platform for Scotland’s maritime community to connect, collaborate and celebrate the strength and diversity of the sector.
Through a programme of premium networking events in relaxed and welcoming settings, Anchor Point Scotland creates opportunities for meaningful conversations, relationship building and knowledge sharing across the industry.
With a proud maritime heritage and a global outlook, Scotland’s marine economy contributes £5.6 billion annually and supports almost 76,000 jobs across shipping, ports, offshore energy, shipbuilding, marine innovation and the wider marine economy.
Anchor Point Scotland is designed to bring Scotland’s maritime voice to the international stage, creating opportunities for engagement, collaboration and connection while strengthening links with the global maritime community through London International Shipping Week.

Anchor Point Scotland will provide opportunities to:
Connect businesses, organisations and individuals across the sector
Encourage knowledge exchange and collaboration
Celebrate Scotland’s maritime expertise and achievements
Support conversations around future opportunities, innovation and sustainability
Build stronger links between Scotland and the wider global maritime community
