Thursday 13 October – 17.00 – Register today!
Join British Marine, The Department for Transport (DfT) and the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) on Thursday 13 October at 17.00 for a free webinar to find out more about the future arrangements for the disposal of maritime pyrotechnics.
In 2021, the DfT completed a consultation on the future arrangements for the disposal of maritime pyrotechnics. Following this consultation, a new alternative programme for the disposal of time-expired marine pyrotechnics was agreed and from 1 January 2023 HM Coastguard will cease to offer a voluntary, public-facing flare disposal service to private individuals.
