Chairman of Membership Committee - Lt Cdr Peter Aylott MA (Oxon) MNI RN
I served in the Royal Navy for 16 years at sea, holding warship Command and specialising in navigation. Leaving the service, I joined the Nautical Institute as a Director and managed the development of DP training and certification. For 9 years I lead a global offshore marine services company providing ship and crew management to high end DP3 Dive Support Vessels, Pipe Layers and Heavy Lift vessels as well as DP marine assurance and DP training in Canada, USA, Brazil, UK, Croatia, UAE, India, Singapore and China. Having commenced the restructure of the company during the oil price crash in 2016 I then took a career change and was the CEO of the largest English fishing company with a fleet of 12 vessels based in Newlyn Cornwall. Having sold the company in 2019 to improve liquidity and investment potential, I joined the UK Chamber of Shipping as Director of Policy in 2020. My current role oversees a highly specialised and experienced policy team advising the UK Government and member companies on ESG, decarbonisation, safety culture, seafarer employment, UK tonnage tax, as well as the requirements of specific vessel types such as ferries, cruise, containers, tankers, bulk carriers, offshore, renewables and towage.
