TIDAL TRANSIT
NEW SKIPPERS Three new skippers have recently joined Tidal Transit’s seagoing team.
• Ben Greer 33 is from Norfolk and has had a career in the Royal Air Force. On leaving the forces, and sure of the direction he wanted his career to take, he invested in his future to become a fully qualified skipper
• At 23, Harry Getliffe, although young, is very experienced at sea. Originally from Leicestershire, Harry started with Tidal Transit as a trainee, having already amassed 15,000 miles of sea experience delivering yachts. Harry and his crew will feature on a forthcoming video of Tidal Transit’s boat, Eden Rose

• The third recruit is Colin Lowe 38 from Blackpool, who has enjoyed a long career in Search and Rescue. Colin has served with the RNLI since 1993, both manning the boats and as a trainer

Leo Hambro from Tidal Transit comments, “We are fortunate to have recruited three such able and experienced skippers to work with us in expanding the business. We are happy to employ ex-military personnel and to train people that we believe will succeed in the industry.
“This is the second extension for the Ginny Louise contract,” says Leo Hambro, Tidal Transit’s Commercial Director. “The first took us to the end of September, and this most recent one will see Ginny Louise in use by the development partnership for a further 6 months at least. This is excellent news for us as the fact that GGOWL are chartering her over the winter months is a testament to her reliability and usefulness in all weathers.”
TIDAL TRANSIT, AS PART OF NORFOLK’S SUPPLY CHAIN, PROFITS FROM OFFSHORE WIND Tidal Transit Limited has recently created five more seagoing and office-based jobs, which is an indication of the company’s important role in the expansion of Norfolk’s offshore wind industry.
Using state-of-the-art vessels, Tidal Transit has contracts with a growing number of offshore wind farm developments in the North Sea to transfer crew from shore to site.
“It is unfortunately, not always possible to recruit local people for each position that we create, but where possible, that is our aim. The two people who are office based, working in administration, accounting and HSE, both come from the area; one is from Docking where our business is based, and the other from Hunstanton just up the coast.”
Harry Getliffe
Leo summed up by saying: “Our contract to supply a crew transfer vessel to the developers of the Sheringham Shoal Offshore Wind Farm has just been extended until the end of November and we are delighted that Tidal Transit is able, with the recent recruitment of staff, to play an increasing role in the offshore renewable energy supply chain in Norfolk and the rest of the UK.”
