British Marine Plc and the UK Merchant Fleet
British Marine is particularly proud of its contribution to the impressive revival of the British merchant fleet that has taken place over the last few years, in which British Marine has emerged as a British ship-owner with the one of the largest and most modern fleets in the UK register (see Our Fleet).
As a matter of policy, the owning companies within the British Marine group all operate their ships under UK tonnage tax rules, and have most of their ships flagged with the British registry. British Marine also has a programme for training British cadets, who are given the opportunity to serve their apprenticeship at sea on British Marine ships.
British Marine has also adapted to the more stable and favourable fiscal regime for UK shipping by successfully completing a number of leasing deals with first class banks. (see Press).
