MAIB Data Portal update
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-20)

The MAIB Data Portal 6-month update, with additional data from 2022 to 2024.

The MAIB Data Portal has been live for just under 6 months. Data was initially only available for marine accidents reported to the MAIB in 2023. Today, that data has been updated to include marine accidents reported in 2022, 2023, and 2024. Work continues to make available data from 2020 and 2021. Data for 2025 and beyond will be released at regular intervals in the future.

The MAIB’s goal to improve safety of life at sea and prevent future accidents is a key driver for providing the public and industry with marine accident data to highlight key insights and drive safety improvements.

Visit the MAIB Data Portal (https://maps.dft.gov.uk/maib-data-portal/web-pages/index.html) to access the service, where you can view a prepared dashboard and download any combination of 3 CSV files and a Power BI data set file with a copy of the online dashboard and CSV files embedded.

Please note that if you have used data previously published, it may differ slightly from the latest update as accidents have been investigated and additional information has come to light.

Memorandum of Understanding between Regulator of Social Housing and the Housing Ombudsman
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-04)

This MoU sets out the functions of both organisations and describes arrangements in place to work together.

The Regulator of Social Housing and the Housing Ombudsman Service have different functions and statutory remits but have arrangements in place for the two bodies to work together.

This Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) sets out a new framework of communication, cooperation and exchange of information between the regulator and the Housing Ombudsman.

Regulator of social housing

The regulator’s focus is at landlord level, setting standards (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/regulatory-standards-for-landlords) which state the outcomes that landlords must deliver. It regulates to ensure a viable, efficient and well governed sector and seeks to drive landlords to improve the quality of homes and services they deliver.

Housing Ombudsman

The Housing Ombudsman makes the final decision on disputes between residents and member landlords. It also works to strengthen internal complaints procedures and encourage landlords to learn from complaints to prevent service failures being repeated. The Housing Ombudsman Service (https://www.housing-ombudsman.org.uk/landlords-info/the-housing-ombudsman-scheme/) is an independent, impartial and free service for social housing residents.

Further information

Sea passenger statistics: data tables (SPAS)
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-10)

Data on UK international and domestic sea passengers, produced by Department for Transport.

Revision details

Following the discovery of some duplicate figures in our raw data affecting the number of passengers that travelled on cruise and long sea journeys, revisions were made to the 2023 and 2021 figures in the latest sea passenger statistics.

The revision made to the cruise and long sea passenger figures has had a minor effect on the total number of sea passengers for 2023 and 2021. This change has not affected the overall trends. Tables SPAS0101, SPAS0107 and SPAS0201 and the web release have been updated with the revised figures and charts.

Passenger vehicle numbers are available in the port freight data collection (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/maritime-and-shipping-statistics#port-and-domestic-waterborne-freight-statistics). See data tables with a cargo breakdown for this information (for example, tables PORT0201 to PORT0203).

We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant

1.1 We Slitherine Software UK Ltd will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:
- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 Slitherine Software UK Ltd recognises the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by pledging to the following:
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- UK Cadets
We also pledge the following:

Promoting the Armed Forces through our social media channels Supporting the Armed Forces by providing free software to cadets and through Fight Club to wargamers at every level of their career. Supporting Heropreneurs to mentor veterans who are starting their own business.

2.2 We will publicise these commitments through our literature and/or on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.

TTM06450 - Relevant shipping profits: Distributions from qualifying overseas shipping companies
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-05)


Subject to tax

In FA00/SCH22/PARA49 (2)(f) there is a condition that the profits from which the dividends are paid must be subject to tax, see TTM06410 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/tonnage-tax-manual/ttm06410).This test may still be satisfied even if there is no actual liability to tax on those profits (for example because of the operation of loss relief), so long as the profits in question are ‘subject to a tax on profits’.The rules of computation for tax purposes of those profits are also immaterial - for example, dividends paid by a company within a comparable tonnage tax regime in another country would satisfy the ‘subject to a tax’ test.

SGSAROA5030 - Statement of Respective areas of responsibility between DBT TAU and HMRC/UKBF: General
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-24)


This manual will be archived on 15 December 2025. If there is content within this manual you use regularly, email xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx) to let us know.

Note: This manual is under review following Brexit and is likely to be withdrawn. If there is anything within this manual you use regularly, please email xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx) to let us know. Please check the other guidance available on GOV.UK from HMRC.

In the complex area of export control it is often not possible for DBT Export Control Joint Unit (ECJU) to advise without detailed technical information, so specifications will often be requested by ECJU technical officers that HMRC/UKBF will need to obtain from the exporter. It should be noted that ECJU technical officers should not be expected to speak directly to the exporter, as there are likely to be legal complications if a prosecution were to be brought.

Exporters should not be advised by HMRC/UKBF that they must consult ECJU for a rating. Everyone is entitled to interpret the export control legislation for themselves and there is no obligation to check with ECJU. ECJU does not provide clearance for given exports and exporters do not have to seek such from ECJU. However, where an exporter voluntarily makes a request to HMRC/UKBF for a rating, HMRC will advise the exporter to consult DBT. Under no circumstances must HMRC/UKBF give exporters individual telephone numbers reserved for HMRC‘s exclusive use. Initial enquiries should be directed to the ECJU Helpline for exporters on xx-xxxx-xxxx.

Exporters should also not be advised by HMRC/UKBF that cases are pending with DIT where advice has been sought. This usually results in the exporter contacting DBT directly only to be informed that ECO officials cannot advise on customs cases - as mentioned earlier, direct contact between ECJU technical officers and the exporter is likely to result in legal complications if a prosecution were to be brought. Exporters who do contact the ECJU, requesting information regarding HMRC/UKBF cases, will always be advised to contact the HMRC/UKBF official dealing with the case.

If ECJU is not able to determine licensability for any reason , it is for HMRC to determine any further course of action. Normally, UKBF officers at the port would contact HMRC Customs Enforcement Policy Team for advice, as required, in such circumstances. Out-of-hours this will be via the HMRC Duty Officer. Advice from FIS (Customs A/B) may be sought at any time and must be sought if the rating is requested in response to an NES profile or where there may have been a deliberate breach of controls.

Queries concerning the eligibility of goods to be exported under Open General Export Licences will be accepted by ECJU, but technical officers will not provide information on licences issued as part of this service, nor on legal exceptions or Crown Immunity issues. Questions in these areas should first be addressed to Customs Enforcement Policy Team. Out-of-hours this will be via the HMRC Duty Officer.
