Maritime infrastructure, together with the UK’s telecommunications and energy systems, underpin these supply chains.

Maritime infrastructure, together with the UK’s telecommunications and energy systems, underpin these supply chains. The events of recent years, notably Houthi attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea, have demonstrated the continuing centrality of maritime security to the UK economy. Increasing global instability means maritime security is more important than ever. (Conclusion, Paragraph 47)
