Peter Phillips, the son of Princess Anne, has launched a new business venture that reflects his mother’s deep connection to the sea. Maritime Passport Ltd, established last year, aims to modernize the shipping certification process, bringing it into the 21st century. Mr. Phillips, known for his diverse career in corporate hospitality, sponsorship management, and previous ventures, including promoting Jersey milk from the royal herd, is now investing in commercial property and steering his latest project towards success.
His venture has enlisted the expertise of Professor Basak Akdemir, a trustee of the Turkish Maritime Education Foundation, among other roles. This move is part of Mr. Phillips' vision to innovate and revolutionize the traditional maritime practices. As the nephew of the Princess Royal, his lifelong exposure to the sea, including regular voyages on the Royal Yacht Britannia, has greatly influenced his latest endeavor.
With his new maritime business, Mr. Phillips seeks to honor his royal heritage and his mother’s profound love for the sea.
