Lifejackets due for servicing

Ocean Safety is reminding English and Welsh commercial fisherman that nearly 7000 lifejackets are due for a service in the next few months.

As part of a Fishing Industry Safety Group (FISG) initiative which aimed to drive up safety standards, the Mullion PFDs were provided free to every commercial fisherman with funding from the European Fisheries Fund (EFF).

Lifejackets can be dropped off at any of the four Ocean Safety branches in Aberdeen, Glasgow, Plymouth or Southampton. A full list of location details is available on the Ocean Safety website.
