  5. External message Lobbying for continued naval support Armed guards have been used, but cannot become the accepted norm Working towards the normal situation Save our Seafarers campaign will continue

  6. BMP Some sections need revising Must reflect current best practice Always been a flexible document Must remain focused for the seafarer
