Offshore Suppliers

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent estimate he has made of the number of offshore supply vessels laid up in UK ports in each year since 2014.

Answer

Shipowners are not required by law to notify the Port State Authority (Maritime and Coastguard Agency) of a vessel that has been laid up in the UK although it is considered good practice.

However, where information is notified to the Authority it will be to the local regional offices and is not collated nor could it be considered comprehensive and therefore it is not possible to make any assessment.
