How you can help prevent terrorism

You should be aware of your responsibilities and make sure you comply with them.

It is also important to be vigilant and inform us immediately of anything suspicious.

What to look out for

  • Unauthorised activity at your marina / sailing club.
  • Packages being transferred from vessel to vessel or to a vehicle in unusual locations, such as a remote part of the river.
  • Activity or sightings of craft at night or on unusual places.
  • Strangers trying to hire your craft - or those belonging to other club members.
  • Evidence of adaptation of vessel for concealment purposes.

What to do if you do notice anything unusual

  • Do not involve yourself.
  • Do not touch any suspicious packages.
  • Make a note of any registration number, markings or description.
  • Call the Port Unit immediately, or if out of office hours call the Police immediately. Your information will be treated in confidence.
