There's a new Shipping TV video online, filmed on Wednesday at the Fishmongers Hall, London, and on the river nearby, showing details of the new Skills training academy being set up to help train a new generation of Thames watermen, skippers and crewmembers.
Commercial passenger and cargo traffic on the Thames is projected to grow dramatically over coming years, creating a demand for new blood afloat .
