Commercial success

An expanding maritime consultancy has recorded its busiest start to a year so far with rising demand for its services worldwide. The Maritime Group (International) (TMG) said it is lining up contracts across multiple sectors for 2017 after a surge of interest in its services. Targeted projects cover ferry and cruise operations, port management, marine surveys, feasibility studies and maritime and border security. Les Chapman, a TMG director, said: “Although the maritime market is toughening in certain sectors, there are still myriad opportunities available.”
