Almost £1 million in Government funding will be spent cutting deaths in the UK’s most dangerous industry, according to Maritime Minister Nusrat Ghani.
The announcement was made during a meeting with safety experts and coastal MPs that an additional £700,000 will be provided to give more fishermen potentially lifesaving training. Increasing safety on fishing vessels is one of the priorities of the Maritime Safety Action Plan, which was published by the Department for Transport on 1st July.
