Update from UK Harbour Authority – disposal of flares….
MCA – New process for the disposal of out of date flares
Good Day All
We have been asked by the MCA to distribute the below information to UK Harbour Masters with the possibility of maybe getting a poster or leaflet displayed in harbour areas to help boat users and the general public.
Time Expired Pyro’s
All the leaflets are free and can be ordered directly from the MCA website. You can access the toolkit through the following link:
