Yesterday, @Seafarers_KGFS Trustees, @MartynGray & @SE_Debbie, contributed to a very insightful discussion on maritime skills, training & people at @APPMPG session at #PalaceOfWestminster. Very impressive turnout. Key takeaway: more collaboration is needed for improved skills 🤝

Fascinating discussion around maritime skills, training & people at the @APPMPG tonight in Westminster. Some alarming figures around the lack of seafarers coming into the sector - with more programmes needed to attract new recruits and retain them.

Our CEO, @SE_Debbie, will be speaking at the next @APPMPG meeting at the Palace of Westminster on 04 December. The meeting will discuss maritime skills, training and people.

I had the pleasure of speaking at @APPMPG yesterday to discuss the challenges facing the maritime sector and the bigger opportunities awaiting us🌊 Working with industry to deliver #Maritime2050 is crucial to perfect standards across the sector and develop innovative solutions💡
