At the Maritime and Coastguard Agency we highly value our seafarers’ service. Their wellbeing and safety are our top priorities, and we are committed to ensuring seafarers have access to training, development opportunities and support throughout their career. During two world wars the bravery of Merchant Navy seafarers kept supply lines open, and now in 2024 they continue to act as key workers, bringing essential food, medicines and other goods to the UK. Today on Merchant Navy Day, we are honouring a vital industry that is often forgotten miles out at sea. More info: https://lnkd.in/eeZpG-h3 #MerchantNavyDay #MerchantNavy #Seafarers #Shipping

When there's an evolving maritime incident in the UK, you'll likely spot the involvement of a key figure - the Secretary of State's Representative for Maritime Salvage and Intervention (SOSREP). When a vessel runs into difficulty in UK waters, lives, the environment and property are all often put at great risk. Rapidly unfolding maritime emergency situations call for informed decisions to be made promptly by a skilled and experienced individual with the full authority of government. The UK SOSREP is vested with that authority. Learn more about this unique role in the comments.

A new communications network connecting 163 remote radio sites is now operational, ensuring HM Coastguard’s effective emergency response continues across the UK. As part of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency’s Radio Network Infrastructure Replacement Programme (RNIR), the upgraded network, combining full-fibre and microwave technology, will provide improved bandwidth and security across 11,000 miles of coastline. The first installations began in December 2020, with Bincleaves, Lee-on-the-Solent, Crystal Palace, Humber, Bridlington and Brighton Marina among the first sites switched to the new network. Now stretching from the Shetland Islands to the Isles of Scilly, the updated infrastructure is now complete. Assistant Chief Coastguard Matthew Leat said: “The national radio network is integral in supporting our mission of preventing the loss of life on the coast and at sea, enhancing our ability to respond to emergencies across the UK.”
