Information on Trinity House and re Captain Nibbs is below.
The Corporation of Trinity House is an organisation little known to the general public. Yet with over 500 years of heritage and a global reputation for excellence it's a vital part of Britain's maritime infrastructure.
Its leading role in developing and maintaining aids to navigation for all types of shipping, its skill base as the leading maritime fraternity and its activities as the largest self-funded maritime charity make it a diverse and forward-thinking organisation, all the more fascinating for being backed up by such a rich history.
Hear more about what Trinity House does for you, where it has come from and where it's going in this interesting overview of one of the UK's most misunderstood treasures.

Captain Brian Nibbs ‘served his time’ as a Deck Officer Cadet with Ellerman Lines, remaining with them in ascending ranks until gaining his Masters Certificate in August 1966. Then followed two years in cross channel ferries as Chief Officer after which he spent two years in the City as a Senior Marine Claims Adjuster with a P & I Club. Brian then relocated to Jersey and after two years as a Marine Consultant, he returned to a seagoing career as Chief Officer, latterly Master, of a Jersey registered ro/ro vessel running between Jersey, Guernsey and St Malo. In 1974 Brian took up the position of Marine Operations Officer with Jersey Harbours. After some 12 years he left to become Operations Director of Huelin-Renouf Shipping, involving vessel management and distribution of freight in Jersey, Guernsey and Portsmouth. The opportunity arose in 1996 to take up the position of Harbour Master of Jersey, latterly becoming CEO. Brian retired in June 2004 and founded the Greenhill Consultancy Limited, though which he continues to undertake a range of marine related activities, including vessel registration and advising a marine civil engineering company on specific harbour related projects. |
