It was an absolute pleasure to welcome WISTA UK and the Scottish Maritime Cluster to NLB HQ yesterday for a seminar on Scottish renewables with a focus on the role of women in maritime. This was the first WISTA UK event held in Scotland and we hope the start of many more.

The construction of POLE STAR V reached another significant milestone today with the keel laying ceremony taking place at GONDAN Shipbuilders - Astilleros Gondán. The vessel will enter service in Summer 2025.
