Speeches by Aquarone.

“The issue of the deemed marine licensing consents and the other ideas about HROs that we have just heard.”

“Already? Notwithstanding?”

“As the standard. Okay. You agree. Does anybody not agree with this? Does anybody want to add any views to that point?”

“Straight through. Yes, of course. Good point.”

“You have folks building cable corridors within a few miles of ports just getting on with the—”

“What we have just heard is quite a good example of where perhaps ports have been an under-considered factor. Many people have spoken about consistency and connectivity around this. Perhaps I can push on that specific point. We have talked about DCOs already. We have heard arguments that the granting of marine licences …”

“We received a view that the risks of dredging are overstated in the NPS, particularly when it comes to its role in operations and indeed safety at ports. What is your view, first of all, and are there any practical implications of that position?”

“You are saying that it is okay and we don’t need this concern or caution. What would be the practical implications if that perceived heightened risk were to become the received wisdom?”

“If I may, I would reinforce that the representation here from the Committee reflects the broader interest in the subject area, as our Chair has said.”

“No indication of what will happen next?”

“From your perspective, do you see a delta in the rate of inflation on the market and the rate of inflation of the actual cost of insurance pay-out within the sector?”

“That rather answers my next question, which is: was it useful?”

“It is potentially reducing the size of the insurance market as well.”

“We have the integrated transport strategy stuff happening. This feels like a rather big question, so let us talk about it in terms of the first steps rather than how you would integrate car sharing into transport networks. What would be the first steps that you would each take to integrate car sharing, of all the types…”

“I do not expect that you will be able to share any numbers, but are you able to comment on whether there is a disparity between the internal rate of cost increase for self-insurance compared with what you know about the market price inflation?”

“I understand. Okay. Richard, thank you.”

“For £30 or whatever, yes.”

“Is it ecosystem-led, user-journey focused?”
