Portsmouth International Port
Safety In Focus at Portsmouth International Port.
In this episode Ben McInnes, Harbour Master at the busy Portsmouth International Port explains how safety is key to running their port operations:
It’s a very busy harbour with cruise vessels, super yachts, hovercraft, passenger and RO-RO ferries, cargo ships, an inshore fishing fleet, leisure sailors and Royal Navy vessels.
How does he keep passengers, seafarers, port staff and the harbour pilots safe?
How is the port caring for the welfare of thousands of international seafarers who visit the port?
How to tackle the emerging maritime transport risks such as lithium battery fires?
Ben also explains how the port is undertaking a ground breaking £28 million pound decarbonisation project including a shore power system for ships, aiming to make Portsmouth International Port the first port in the UK with net zero emissions by 2030.
