The Falkland Islands Maritime Authority says goodbye this week to their Harbour Master Captain Jo Cox.
Jo has been with the Maritime Authority since June 2021, during which time she has impacted the lives of many seafarers by driving up safety standards in the Falkland Islands.
Jo and her team have faced many challenges along the way which have been overcome by the true professionalism and leadership that Jo has shown during her tenure. Jo has spent many years working in and around Falklands, South Georgia and Antarctic waters and gaining valuable experience in the process. It is safe to say that the hard work put in by Jo, especially with the Jigger fleet, has made the vessels a much safer place to work with improved welfare standards.
From all of us at the Maritime Authority a huge thank you for all the exceptional work you have done, and we wish you all the best for the future as the Chichester Harbour Master.
Steuart Barlow will now step up from Deputy Harbour Master to Harbour Master and will endeavour to carry out the good work achieved by Jo.
