Aberdeen Doors Open Day

🩵

Today, on Merchant Navy Day, we recognise the vital contribution made by Merchant Navy personnel - past and present - and remember those who have lost their lives in service at sea.

The Merchant Navy continues to play an essential role in keeping global trade moving, connecting communities and supporting the economy, often in demanding and challenging conditions.

In Peterhead, we are proud to help prepare the next generation for this important profession. Pictured are some of our newest Merchant Navy cadets, who are developing the knowledge, skills and experience needed to begin successful careers at sea.

Today, we celebrate their ambitions while paying tribute to all those who have served, and continue to serve, in the Merchant Navy.
