How many PTBs can you spot? This time of year, we see an influx of Passenger Transport Boats from the aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth, coming in for maintenance and repairs. These workhorses require a quick turnaround to keep them running smoothly. It's always a busy but rewarding time ensuring these vital vessels are ready for another year of service.

Unintentionally, my entire professional journey has revolved around the maritime sector. Many of you may be familiar with my background as a vessel operator, bunker purchaser, and charterer. However, all my other roles have also maintained a connection to the shipping and maritime domain. Prior to becoming a maritime recruiter, I dedicated two years to building luxury carbon fibre yachts in Italy and Slovenia as a boat builder. Even in my early days while studying, I started off in the kitchen of the Royal Yacht Squadron, where my passion for cooking also took hold. I think its safe to say, that I am now in the industry for life. Have you ever envisioned yourself entering this field, and what steps can we take to inspire the next generation to join us?

This is sad Tim Armit. But the challenge in such cases is that neither you/ BUPA nor the conference organisers would have identified BA as a third party dependency/ risk. BA on the other hand has too many customers so as a non-resilient organisation, they don't care. Its worth looking into BA's documents whether this has been registered as a possible risk and what likelihood and impact/ severity and what mitigation. Is it Green risk (whatever may be the impact, its within their appetite!) for them? Finally, whether they recorded this happening in their incident register or an after crisis/ disaster report is created! Most likely, its just an incident for them.
You can't make it up. I am meant to deliver a speech tomorrow, at a great conference, on two case studies of 3rd party failure. And yet right now I am still sat in Nice due to completely useless British Airways failing (airport staff telling that not enough tickets were sold to make the flight worth doing) and will now miss the conference, due to 3rd party failure. The irony is not lost on me. My apologies to the event organisers, please check with British Airways for this week's excuses.

Norse Atlantic Airways' network woes continue – and not just in winter. It has now cut summer-seasonal London Gatwick to Boston and Washington Dulles. While no surprise given both were at what seemed to be full fare for a while, it is still a major change. In response, it has doubled Gatwick-JFK to twice daily in S23. But due to a lack of slots at good times, this will leave Gatwick at 20:40, arrive in JFK at 23:30, leave at 01:30, and get back at 13:30. A very big ouch. While Gatwick-Los Angeles remains this summer, frequencies have fallen depending on the week. They are now three to six weekly, down from daily. Everyone knows getting slots is one thing and using them is another. Norse has secured Gatwick slots for Las Vegas and Dubai slots for Gatwick. Will be interesting to see what happens. #airlines #aviation #london #uk With thanks to Sean Moulton for the heads up.

Many cruise ships spend the southern hemisphere summer home-porting in Dubai, Africa and Australasia, before returning to the Mediterranean in time for Europe’s summer cruise season. The quickest route ‘home’ to the Mediterranean is via the Red Sea and Suez Canal, but to reach the Canal ships must sail through the Bab Al Mandeb Strait off the coast of Yemen. With the ongoing conflict in the region – including Houthi rebels firing cruise missiles at vessels – ever-cautious cruise companies are choosing to reroute their ships the (much) longer way around the southern tip of Africa.
Suez woes mean more ships for Cape Town

GLOBAL GATEWAY: Our three ports lie just 20 nautical miles from the world’s busiest shipping route from Shanghai to Rotterdam and have direct routes to more than 70 ports around the world. The Port of Southampton is the UK’s biggest export port, with over £40bn of UK manufactured goods exported from Southampton each year – 90% to destinations outside the EU. One million cars pass through the port each year – 60% for export – ensuring Southampton plays a critical part in the supply chain for the British Automotive industry as it seeks to access global markets. Southampton is the UK’s most efficient container port and is the biggest cruise turnaround port in Europe, with over 500 cruise ship calls per year, and handling more than two million passengers. The Port of Portsmouth sits at the heart of the Maritime defence cluster, anchored by His Majesty’s Naval Base, which is the Home of the Royal Navy. Portsmouth International Port – the UK’s most successful municipal port, provides important freight and passenger routes across the channel to more European destinations than any other UK Port, and has a growing and complementary cruise sector. 💻 Find out more about Solent Freeport: https://lnkd.in/e2SdyXPv 📩 Contact us: info@solentfreeport.com #freeport #solent #solentfreeport #southamptonport #portofportsmouth #portsmouthinternationalport #portsmouth #cargo #gateway #globalgateway #cruise #deepseatrade #jobs #containers
