95% of goods entering the UK arrive by sea, so shipping safety (and the role of Trinity House) has a huge impact.

The corporation's mission is to provide navigational aids for the safe passage of a huge variety of vessels through some of the world's busiest shipping lanes. To accomplish this task, an impressive array of over 600 navigation aids will be deployed, ranging from lighthouses to satellite navigation services.

Trinity House has operated on a charitable basis since it was established by Henry VIII's royal charter on 20 May 1514. Around £4 million a year is donated to charity across its charities, which include training, the welfare of retired seafarers and the teaching of educational programs that develop maritime safety skills.
