Maritime & Logistics

The Maritime and Logistics sector within Norfolk and Suffolk has a workforce of 48,700 and 4,100 enterprises. Norwich is close to several key maritime and logistic locations, including Lowestoft (the most Easterly town in England!) which offers a wide range of extensive marine leisure facilities. Great Yarmouth and King’s Lynn are also close by.

Great Yarmouth is Britain’s principal port for the Southern North Sea Oil & Gas and renewable energy industries. It boasts a modern multipurpose facility consisting of a river port, and a deep water outer harbour. King’s Lynn is a regional hub for agricultural products, which offers extensive handling and storage facilities.

There are also a series of smaller ports, including Wells-next-the-Sea, which service wind farm workers, and coastal harbours which support leisure, tourism and fishing.

Petans is based in East Anglia, and has provided professional safety and survival training for the offshore energy sector both in the UK and worldwide for over 40 years.

Petans deliver accredited training to the requirements of OPITO, MCA, HSE, GWO and City & Guilds as well as providing specific training requirements to the wider energy sector and beyond.
