So from all of us here at CHIRP Maritime, we thank our team: our Trustees; members of the Maritime Advisory Board; Ambassadors; sponsors and individuals;
companies and organisations who have given their resources without recompense.
Finally, we thank every reporter, the seafarer who engages with us and sends us those vital reports.
