@MaritimeUK has set out its election manifesto. It features five key themes: #people, #innovation, #environment, #regionalgrowth and #competitiveness. Are you listening @BorisJohnson, @jeremycorbyn and @joswinson ? #maritime #Election2019 https://t.co/AQw0GXHv8r

Another island nation has been hit by natural disaster as a result of climate change - this time the #MarshallIslands. This was exactly what Barbados PM @miaamormottley was talking about at our launch. Help us #makeadifference. https://t.co/RQkp2AiowB

Thankfully, #hurricane season is nearly over although the horror of #hurricanedorian will live long in the memory. This season has been the 8th most active for named storms. Help save lives in the future by supporting #BritanniaMaritimeAid https://t.co/14uiL8JBXc #disasterrelief

[Britannia Maritime Aid @BritMaritimeAid]

The #maritime sector is worth £46bn, according to @MaritimeUK. #Training of the next generation of seafarers and supporting #British #shipbuilding is vital - and that's where we come in! Help us make a difference. https://t.co/D2Lq5LiyzL https://t.co/HwA72DS94F

Whoever wins #GeneralElection2019 (and however #Brexit ends) a #maritime training, #disasterrelief and #environmentaladvocacy ship can only bolster #GreatBritain's place in the #world - and help save lives and boost #British #Shipbuilding @BorisJohnson @joswinson @jeremycorbyn

[Britannia Maritime Aid @BritMaritimeAid]

@PennyMordaunt Many thanks for a very constructive conversation @PennyMordaunt. Great possibilities to develop maritime capabilities, help save lives, bolster training and boost #British #shipbuilding #BritanniaMaritimeAid #GlobalBritain #MaritimeNation

@PennyMordaunt visits @MSATraining and sails out of @visitportsmouth on the new @VirginVoyages cruise vessel with @VikingDAJ Chairman and Founder of @VikingCrew1 and Andy Hair. @PaulRutters @MatthewJaenicke

[Penny Mordaunt @PennyMordaunt]

Great to talk further with @BritMaritimeAid about building a U.K. maritime capability. Seatime for cadets, disaster recovery, beach clean up, regeneration, capacity building bases, research stations, trade platforms, mobile embassies and more. #GlobalBritain #MaritimeNation 🇬🇧⚓️

'It was like having 1000 sledgehammers working at you every minute of every hour for 36 hours' - just one description of #HurricaneDorian. Help us deliver #HumanitarianAid in aftermath of natural disasters. #BritanniaMaritimeAid https://t.co/pNmNbssa5U (file pic: pixabay)

[Britannia Maritime Aid @BritMaritimeAid]

British #shipbuilding could receive a major boost if our plans for a multi-purpose #humanitarianaid, #training and #oceans advocacy ship goes ahead. Please give us your backing too as we move this project forward. https://t.co/aqepTnryR8

[RFA Mounts Bay @RFAMountsBay]

Yesterday Captain Rob Anders handed over the command to Captain Kevin Rimell. Before he left CAPT Anders said he was “so pleased with the support, follows and retweets received during his tenure as CO of @RFAMountsBay” particularly during #HurricaneDorian #mightymounts

[Britannia Maritime Aid @BritMaritimeAid]

There's still a month left of #hurricaneSeason in the Caribbean. #Barbados PM Mia Mottley graphically outlined the sense of dread many feel in the region at this time of year - and stressed just how important a ship of our kind is...
