About

MCA - Maritime and Coastguard Agency awarded a contract to Knightwood Legal for legal advice and drafting of national maritime legislation for UK Overseas Territories to ensure compliance with and implementation of international maritime obligations and conventions.

The contract, valued at £168,000, addresses the need for external legal expertise due to the Government Legal Department's inability to provide support and limitations on internal resources within the Maritime and Coastguard Agency and the Department for Transport.

The work supports the UK's responsibilities as a member state of the International Maritime Organisation, including oversight of the Red Ensign Group, and aims to mitigate contingent liabilities that could ultimately fall to the Secretary of State for Transport and UK taxpayers.
