The Port of Milford Haven has appointed a new marine support officer.

David Stubbins will focus on assisting cargo, heavy lift, and renewable vessels on the Milford Haven Waterway.

He will provide marine expertise and guidance to the Pembroke Port team, working closely with commercial manager Sharon Adams.

Mr Stubbins said: "Working on the Milford Haven Waterway is a full circle moment for me after growing up in Milford Haven and joining the Merchant Navy.

"It’s also a particularly exciting time to join the Port of Milford Haven with its continuing pilotage investment and with the new facilities available at Pembroke Port.

"I very much look forward to working alongside our customers to ensure they benefit from these investments."

Mr Stubbins will collaborate with the Pembroke Port team to ensure excellent service to customers in the cargo and renewables sector.

Ms Adams said: "The new slipway, laydown facilities, workboat pontoons and office spaces created as part of the £60m Pembroke Dock Marine project will create fantastic opportunities for our customers.

"We recognise that Pembroke Port is an increasingly busy site and David will become an integral part of the team to ensure our customers always benefit from a safe, efficient and reliable operation.

"We are very excited for the future."

The Pembroke Dock Marine project is funded by the Swansea Bay City Deal through the UK and Welsh Governments, the European Regional Development Fund through the Welsh Government, and private investment.

The project aims to create opportunities for customers with the new facilities.

The Port of Milford Haven is keen to ensure that customers benefit from these investments.
