Marine Volunteer Service

No previous maritime experience is necessary. You can serve as an active member until you are 70, you may then continue as a Back-up member or Supporter.

Back-up List
If you are aged 70 or under, have already completed a career in a maritime related job and have practical expertise you could pass on to a younger generation, the 'Back-up' List may be for you. We need instructors, particularly those with a knowledge of seamanship, engineering (marine, electrical or electronic) and harbour management. You will be expected to attend your Unit regularly on training evenings. You can continue to serve as long as you are physically fit.

Supporters List
If you feel unable to give the MVS the level of commitment required for lists 'A' or 'B', but nevertheless support its aims and wish to be involved with the Service then you can join the 'Supporters' List. There are no age limits and you will play your part by attending social functions. You may also be asked to assist your Head of Unit in organising fund raising events and generally helping to raise the profile of the MVS in your community.

The annual subscriptions include personal accident insurance cover when you take part in MVS activities. You will also receive a copy of the MVS Newsletter and annual review.

We also offer 'Temporary' List membership for those who are 'joining' for the duration of a course.
