BRITANNIA MARITIME AID
Navigating disaster relief
Every minute counts when natural disaster strikes, whether it is a hurricane, earthquake, tsunami, volcano, fire or other catastrophe.
Britannia Maritime Aid is a registered charity which aims to deliver emergency aid and ocean advocacy while also helping to train the next generation of British and Commonwealth seafarers.
Our intention is to operate a British-built merchant ship, manned by UK and Commonwealth seafarers, which will operate as a disaster relief platform and a sea training vessel for cadets, apprentices, and non-seafaring trainees.
It will provide an effective and regular means of directly delivering UK overseas humanitarian aid and skills training on a year-round basis to UK overseas territories communities in need, and when required to provide direct, fast and cost-effective emergency response to disaster hit islands and coastal commonwealth countries.

PETREL UPDATE:
Research vessel Petrel toppled over in dry dock at Leith on Wednesday.
7 are still in hospital with injuries.
Petrel had been laid up in Lieth since 2020 but was bought by US Navy Naval Facilities Engineering & Expeditionary Warfare Center in Sept 2022 for $12.4M.
RV Petrel will be operated by a civilian subcontractor but was being converted for seabed warfare purposes - i.e. to monitor undersea infrastructure in a similar role to Multi-Role Ocean Surveillance Ship (MROSS).
