    MEMBER UPDATE JUNE 2020 | JUNE 2020 PAGE | 02 CHRIS SHIRLING-ROOKE REFLECTS It is my immense pleasure to welcome you to the June edition of the Mersey Maritime Ezine! Once again I am astounded by the volume of material we are able to present to you this month from a whole range of businesses and organisations connected with the maritime sector here in the Liverpool City Region and beyond. I can’t quite believe it is June, very nearly July, already as we have passed the longest day and by rights we should be looking forward to a little relaxation and refreshment over the summer months. This year has been quite different! The global pandemic continues to affect all of our lives, and whilst for many businesses their work has continued apace, I sense there’s a real desire to start returning to something that looks like ‘normal’. This will still mean being sensible, alert and alive to the new realities that the health crisis has thrown our way and recognising that it hasn’t yet gone away. It is worth reflecting for just a moment on where we are as an organisation and how we have responded to the challenge we’ve faced as a maritime community. During the last 15 weeks Mersey Maritime has: Continued to provide guidance and support for our 200 members E Delivered 22 digital events… … to over 550 individuals Issued 2 industry wide surveys, and C Fed the results into national and local government policy and planning. E I truly believe we are ‘Stronger Together’ and I hope you will agree that I Mersey Maritime has risen to the challenge that the last few weeks has presented to us all.

In terms of employment and training opportunities, this has just been the start. Major developments including The Trafford Centre, MediaCityUK, Gloucester Quays and Liverpool2 have created in excess of 20,000 indirect jobs in the retail, media and maritime sectors. At each stage of the development process the Peel Group looks to add value and 13,000+ opportunity through employment and training. During the construction of MediaCityUK, working with main contractor Lend Lease, jobs have been created in Peel ensured that 50% of the jobs created the construction of were taken up by residents from the Greater Peel projects since 1996 Manchester area and a substantial 12,862 people received training as part of the 12,000+ construction process.

    Dredging: Emerging Environmental Issues

    DREDGING AND SUSTAINABILITY IN NW ENGLAND SITE VISIT (1100-1300) AND HALF DAY SEMINAR (1400-1700) Tuesday 8th October 2019 PEEL PORTS GROUP, MARITIME CENTRE, PORT OF LIVERPOOL, LIVERPOOL L21 1LA This combined CEDA UK and Young CEDA event is open to all (non CEDA members welcomed) and is a free event. We hope that it will provide a useful and interesting discussion on the topic of dredging and sustainability focused on the North West of England. It also provides a good opportunity for networking and meeting those involved in CEDA in the UK and is aimed at anyone working or studying in a related field. The Port of Liverpool is one of the largest, busiest and most diverse ports in the UK, sitting on both sides of the River Mersey. The port was recently extended with the construction of Liverpool2, a new £400m deep- water container terminal, which opened in 2016. This has doubled the port’s container capacity and made it one of the country’s best-equipped and connected terminals. The day will consist of a site visit around Liverpool2 in the morning followed by an afternoon seminar; however, you are very welcome to just attend the seminar as placed are limited for the site visit. Liverpool is an excellent example of where both dredging and the adoption of a sustainable approach is vital for the ongoing success of the port. The seminar will consider various projects in the North West of England. Please note that the site visit will be restricted on numbers, following registration below.
