South West

The South West Port Welfare Committee currently has 37 Members who represent a wide range of maritime agencies and societies involved with seafarer’s welfare.

The Port Welfare Committee provides a forum where Members can meet regularly to share information and best practise. As well as providing mutual support and the opportunity to network with colleagues from across the maritime sector, PWC Meetings also provide an opportunity to brief members on national policies and issues that may be relevant to visiting or resident seafarers and their families.

The South West Port Welfare Committee meets three times per year. Meetings are rotated and hosted by Member organisations at venues across the area.

2018 Meetings are as follows:

Wednesday, 07th March	General Meeting, Western Maritime Training, Plymouth
Wednesday, 27th June	General Meeting, National Maritime Museum, Falmouth
Wednesday, 24th October	AGM & General Meeting, MtoS Fowey

Chairman
Mrs Christine Rankin MBE (The Watch Ashore / Seafarers UK)
