Marine Division Recognises Merchant Navy Day
September 03, 2019
The 3rd September is known across the country as Merchant Navy Day, where we recognise our dependence on modern day merchant seafarers.
This includes our Marine team who transport a huge amount of aggregates every year – thank you for your hard work and dedication!
The Marine division marked the day both in the Southampton office and also aboard the CEMEX ships.
The purpose of Merchant Navy Day is to honour the brave men and women who kept our ‘island nation’ afloat during both World Wars, and celebrate our dependence on modern day merchant seafarers; who are responsible for 95% of the UK’s imports. This includes half the food we eat, plenty of the fuel we burn and virtually all the products and goods we take for granted (including a significant quantity of aggregates!)
