In March 2026, Teamwork Security and Training Services proudly attended the UK Harbour Masters’ Association  (UKHMA) Spring Conference, one of the UK’s leading gatherings for port and harbour professionals.

Held at the John McIntyre Conference Centre in Edinburgh, the event brought together harbour masters, port operators, industry suppliers, and maritime specialists from across the country for two days of insight, collaboration and innovation.

A Key Event for the Ports Industry

The UKHMA Spring Conference, which took place across 24–25 March 2026, is a cornerstone event in the maritime calendar. It provides a platform for professionals to explore the latest developments, challenges, and opportunities shaping the future of UK ports and harbours.

This year’s programme featured a range of expert speakers, technical sessions, and industry discussions, covering themes such as:

  • Port safety and regulatory developments
  • Operational efficiency and risk management
  • Emerging technologies and digital transformation
