Solent Marine Community

The Solent, on the South coast of England, has a long-standing maritime tradition and is home to a thriving marine community that includes many world leading, innovative businesses. The sector's growth is supported by a well qualified workforce and high quality business service providers, research organisations, universities and training providers.

Our objective in publishing this website is to encourage inward investment, and we hope that the following pages, which offer a flavour of the Solent Marine Community, will provide the justification you need to consider the Solent in your investment decisions. The Solent is an ideal base from which to capture European and world markets.

We cordially invite you to join the thriving community of marine enterprises in the Solent area.
