About us

If you're by the water on Saturday 4 June, keep an ear out at midday for the 'Ships Salute' to mark the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, where marine vessels will sound a simultaneous long loud blast on their horn or whistle!

------------------

“As a proud maritime nation and where the name of Her Majesty has graced not only cruise liners but also the largest ship in the Royal Navy fleet, we really want the Maritime sector to show support with Merchant, Naval and leisure vessels alike by marking the Jubilee as a synchronised ‘salute’ from their horn,” RT.Hon. Grant Shapps, Secretary of State for Transport.

Every Royal Navy, Merchant Navy and recreational vessel regardless of size, class and category is invited to join the Ships Salute.

“The Ships Salute is a fitting way for the maritime sector to join the weekend of public celebrations for The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. The salute is both simple and universal and we hope as many people as possible get involved,” commented Sarah Treseder, CEO, UK Chamber of Shipping.

So, whatever your vessel or whatever else is happening, make sure you put a reminder in your calendar and join in the fun! Don’t forget to tell your berthholders, customers and visitors and get as many people involved as possible.
