Maritime firms from across Liverpool city region have come together to fill a shipping container with vital supplies for those left stricken by the eruption of the La Soufriere Volcano.
Merseyside businessman Garth Dallas, chair of the Liverpool Commonwealth Association, asked for the businesses across Merseyside to support the relief effort. And the city region’s £4bn maritime sector has responded magnificently.
A container supplied by Mersey Maritime laden with donations of vital goods has departed the Port of Liverpool where it will be transported onto the Caribbean with the help of Liverpool-based Denholm Logistics and Peel Ports Group.
The container, which is now midway across the Atlantic, has been filled with donations of vital goods such as medical supplies, blankets, baby clothes, tinned food, PPE, mattresses, powdered milk, sanitization products and many other items.
