TWO MORE SHIPS are to be tied up at the Naval Base in Haulbowline as there are not enough sailors to man the vessels, The Journal has learned.

Those sources also said that it is understood that the remaining members of the ships’ crews have yet to be told of the move. This entails the “prioritisation of personnel training and development” of existing Naval Service members. It also said a Sea-Going Service Commitment Scheme aimed at retaining experienced personnel and incentivising those personnel to undertake sea going duties was also initiated.

“The high standard of training provided by the Defence Forces makes its members ever more attractive to private sector employers,” the statement added.
