The fight for the protection of our planet has been top-of-mind for several years now. The oceans are incredibly important to the future of our planet, and it needs to be protected. The seas surrounding England are almost double the land mass and that is why it is important, now more than ever, to ensure that any maritime activity is regulated and done in a conscious way. Northern Rib Hire is one of the leading companies offering maritime vessels for hire, and as they are constantly out on the water, they are passionate about keeping our seas safe and protected.

The English seas are some of the busiest across the globe, with many activities either depending on the ocean or taking place on or in the ocean. This can include anything from leisure activities such as diving and watersports, to shipping, construction, fisheries, transport, communications, and energy.

MMO stands for the Marine Management Organisation, and their purpose is to protect and enhance the treasured marine environment as well as to support the growth of the UK economy by enabling and enforcing sustainable marine activities and development. The way in which MMO does this is by licensing, regulating, and, to an extent, planning marine activities that occur in the seas around England so that everything is done in a sustainable way.

A spokesperson from Northern Rib Hire said: “The protection of our seas is, of course, very near and dear to our hearts. At Northern Rib Hire, we are constantly offering our services for assistance in oil spill cleanups and the like, and that is why we wholeheartedly support the work that the MMO is doing for the oceans surrounding our beloved England.”

The existence of the MMO is largely aimed at making a large contribution to sustainable development where it concerns the marine area. Together with Northern Rib Hire, the MMO and the UK government all have the vision for clean, safe, healthy, productive and biologically diverse seas and oceans.

The vessels in the fleet of Northern Rib Hire all receive regular maintenance and upgrades to ensure that they are completely safe and intact, thus lessening their impact on the environment. However, each vessel in the fleet also carries an MMO license, and any person hiring a rib or catamaran from Northern Rib Hire can rest assured that they are focused on carrying out the job in a sustainable way.

Northern Rib Hire is dedicated to the protection of our oceans in much the same way that MMO is, and passionate about promoting a sustainable way of using the seas for both leisure and economic activities.
