It will then begin a new economic relationship with the EU – with a trade deal or on ‘no deal’ terms.

Mersey Maritime is urging maritime companies that trade products and services with the EU to review their preparedness for the end of the UK’s transition period with the EU. Regardless of whether or not a deal is agreed between the UK and EU, there are new rules for businesses and citizens from 1 January 2021. Your business, family, and personal circumstances will be affected.
