Maritime Safety Week 2019

The Department for Transport (DfT) have confirmed that the second UK Maritime Safety Week will be taking place from Monday 1 July to Friday 5 July. The Government will use the week to celebrate the maritime sector’s performances in terms of safety and highlight some aims for future improvement.
