Shieldhall is unique and as a member of the National Historic Fleet is acknowledged as being of pre-eminent significance, providing an insight into the UK's maritime history and technology, thereby meriting the highest priority for long-term preservation. SS Shieldhall is owned by Solent Steam Packet Limited (a Community Benefit Society) who has delegated all responsibilities for fundraising and operating the ship to Steamship Shieldhall Charity.

The Board recognises that having trustees with a variety of perspectives, experiences and skills can help to improve its effectiveness.
