🚢 RARE CHANCE TO STEP ABOARD A SPECIALIST SHIP IN BARROW THIS WEEKEND!

Visitors to the Royal Port of Barrow Festival of the Sea this weekend are being offered a rare opportunity to step aboard a working vessel and experience “A View From The Bridge.”

Festival partners AW Ship Management, alongside Pacific Nuclear Transport Limited (PNTL) and Nuclear Transport Solutions (NTS), will be taking part in the event on Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 August, celebrating Barrow’s maritime heritage and highlighting careers within the industry.

As part of the weekend, members of the public can register for an exclusive guided tour of one of the vessels at Ramsden Dock Terminal, giving visitors the chance to get on board and see life at sea from a very different perspective.

⚓ Places are limited and advance registration is required.

Anyone wishing to take part should email:
📧 [email protected]

Under-16s must be accompanied by an adult and sensible footwear is required.

AW Ship Management, PNTL and NTS will also have a presence outside Morrisons in Barrow, LA14 2HF, throughout the Festival of the Sea weekend.

Their teams will be available to speak to visitors about careers at sea and ashore, apprenticeships, cadetships and development opportunities, as well as explaining the work carried out by the organisations and the skills needed for a career within the maritime sector.

The opportunity forms part of a packed Festival of the Sea weekend taking place across Barrow, bringing together ships, maritime organisations, entertainment and activities celebrating the town's long-standing connection with the sea.
