Stakeholder Consultative Forum

MARA Stakeholder Forum

The Maritime Area Stakeholder Forum aims to facilitate structured and ongoing engagement with key stakeholders involved or affected by regulatory activities in Ireland’s maritime area. The Forum will provide a platform for dialogue, collaboration, and the exchange of information to support MARA’s regulatory and strategic functions.

The Forum is intended as a structured platform to:

• Provide updates on MARA’s role and development
• Share knowledge on best practices in the maritime regulatory landscape
• Inform MARA’s application requirements and processes, lessons learned by all
• Inform stakeholders of legislative or policy updates
• Inform MARA of developments in the various sectoral areas
• Any other relevant topic of relevance to MARA’s functions

The Forum will not discuss any applications for consents that are under assessment by MARA or any enforcement matter.

The Forum will be non-statutory, non-binding and not a decision-making body.

MARA’s decision on membership is final. The first meeting of the Forum will take place in early 2026.
