At a the British Marine Commercial AGM last week at Seawork our business director Tony Birr and owner of Century Maritime Ltd was elected onto the committee of British Marine Commercial.
British Marine Commercial aims better to serve the workboat sector by representing the industry at top level on technical standards, promoting the industry to government and providing networking events for association members.
The current interest in the offshore renewable market has created a need for a united force to make sure the UK Commercial Marine industry is at the fore front of renewable energy developer's minds.
"The introduction of British Marine Commercial is a very poisitive step forward. Raising the profile of the commercial sector and embracing issues faced by commercial workboat builders is going to be a benefit to all the members. A united force speaking with one voice and sharing best practice is exactly what is needed and what is going to come about with British Marine Commercial." Alan Goodchild, Goodchild Marine Services Limited.
