Today marks the start of Maritime Safety Week. First launched in 2018 by the Department for Transport, it takes place every July, highlighting the excellent work of the maritime sector in keeping people safe on and around the water by sharing best practice and driving continuous improvement.
Throughout the week, UK sector bodies will be highlighting the dangers of the maritime environment, helping to reduce preventable maritime accidents and taking stock of the fantastic and innovative work that is already being delivered.
At FIMA we are working hard to improve the safety of people and vessels operating in our waters with changes to legislation and the adoption of international standards. We would love for you to share your views and safety advice with us on our social media or by emailing [email protected].
