<p>My officials and I work extensively with our maritime sector. We continue to support
the sector on the operational, crew and financial challenges they face during the
Covid-19 pandemic. We are working closely with stakeholders from across the sector
as we look to restart domestic and international travel through the Global Travel
Taskforce. My department continues to assist on critical issues such as decarbonisation,
promoting global competitiveness and our future seafarer needs. We will work closely
with the sector to seize the opportunities our departure from the EU creates and are
fully committed to the long-term success of the sector which is so critical to the
UK as a trading nation.</p>
