The RNLI will bring lifeboats, engineering insight and practical water safety advice to Southampton International Boat Show in September 2026.
Their new UK Headquarters will be opening in December 2022. Maritime Yacht Services, new international operational team’ Maritime Management’ will focus on the global Superyacht market, which specialises in refurbishing their superyacht tenders. This exciting expansion program will accommodate their most extensive bespoke refit, repair, and coating centre of excellence.
