With the shipping industry going through one of its periodic downturns, “Here we go again”, could be the cry from the heart of management ashore and afloat as, in addition to bottom line problems, another raft of legislation is drafted concerning ship safety. As usual, amongst this information, there are new rules regarding signage. The size, content, luminosity and placement of signs is under constant review and keeping abreast of it all is yet another task for those at the sharp end.

Help is at hand. Captain Andy Goldsmith MNI believes that reputable and established companies in the sign manufacturing business are well placed to provide advice and assistance with compliance in signage matters. Andy comments, “Maritime Progress is a company in the
forefront of maritime signage production. The company has been producing and supplying signs, training posters and manuals to the marine industry for four decades. It is in our own best interest to give added value to our products by keeping abreast of current legislation and, where necessary, advising our clients accordingly”.
