It was great to see such a fantastic turn out this week at Mersey Maritime fringe event as part of the Labour Party Conference. Stanlow Terminals CEO, Michael Gaynon participated on the panel alongside Ruth Wood, Stephen Carr, Peel Ports Group, Mark Wray, Connected Places Catapult and Katherine Fairclough, Liverpool City Region Combined Authority and Keynote Maritime Minister, Mike Kane MP. Discussions focused on the economic impact of maritime and the Mersey Estuary in facilitating significant volumes of trade, supporting high quality and skilled jobs, driving productivity and the industry’s role as a key foundation industry for the whole regional economy. Mike Gaynon, CEO Stanlow Terminals, said: “We are grateful to Mersey Maritime for the valuable opportunity to hear from the new Minister and from those partners who are ensuring that our region continues to deliver economic growth through our maritime connected ports and infrastructure. We are excited about the investment we are making in industrial decarbonisation and to be part of the development of Green Shipping Corridors. We’ve been serving our region for a century and we remain committed to ensuring that we can continue to provide the vital fuels that our economy needs, today and in the future, whilst ensuring that we are reducing our carbon emission and creating highly skilled well-paid jobs.” https://lnkd.in/eRfNUY6X #StongerTogether #Maritime
