Welcome to Nautilus UK, the union for maritime professionals at sea and ashore.

We are an independent, campaigning and progressive organisation that speaks up for seafarers and protects maritime professionals.

We not only negotiate on pay and conditions, but also campaign for quality jobs and standards in the shipping industry, and voice our members' concerns at national, regional and international levels.
