We're flying the flag for Merchant Navy Day!

Most of the goods we rely on every day arrive in the UK by sea, made possible by the dedication and expertise of merchant seafarers and the wider maritime industry.

Today, we recognise and thank the seafarers serving around the world, celebrate those preparing for careers at sea, and acknowledge everyone across the maritime sector who helps keep our nation moving.

At Fleetwood Nautical College, we are proud to support the next generation of maritime professionals.
