National Historic Ships UK is delighted to announce a brand-new Discounts Scheme exclusively for owners and custodians of vessels on the National Registers!
A survey undertaken in 2023 provided direct sector feedback on the financial need for vessel owner support on maintenance and conservation costs, as well as with mooring and operational costs. In response, NHS-UK has partnered with different companies and organisations from across the maritime sector to launch a Discounts Scheme for custodians of vessels on the National Register of Historic Vessels (NRHV) and the National Historic Fleet (NHF).
To be eligible for the available discounts, you only need to provide your vessel's unique Registration or ID Number. To make access easier, you may now request a digital Proof of Registration to present to the scheme partners when applying for a discount. This will be automatically provided to any new registered vessel and can be requested by contacting info@nationalhistoricships.org.uk.
Discount Partners are:
- Brighton Marine Surveys: 10% discount on normal rates for surveys on registered vessels
- Coastline Cruises: 50% discount for owners and custodians of registered vessels (plus close family) to travel on their boats
- Columbia Metals: 10% discount for any of their alloys used on a registered vessel
- Davey & Co (London): 25% discount off on their items and services to registered vessels
- IBTC Lowestoft: 15% discount on their short courses (up to three days) for owners and custodians of registered vessels
- Largs Chandlers: 10% discount off all items (excluding those already discounted)
- S J Wharton Ltd: 10% discount on sales of fixings, fasteners, welding products, safety wear and tools to vessels on the NRHV and NHF and a 5% discount on oils, LPG and Hobbyweld gas
- Teignbridge Propellers: 10% discount on all manufactured parts and services supplied by Teignbridge UK
If you would like to be part of the Discounts Scheme as a supplier, service provider or facility, we would be delighted to welcome you on board. We are happy to agree a discount rate that suits you or your organisation. Please contact info@nationalhistoricships.org.uk for more information.
