Forces News has been given special access to the Royal Navy's control centre for handling shipping emergencies.

UK Maritime Trade Operations Centre (UKMTO) acts as a hub to receive distress calls from ships in many parts of the world – including the Red Sea, which has seen an unprecedented 475% increase since November.

Forces News meets the dedicated UKMTO team which takes calls from ships in distress and channels the right support to them as well as warning other vessels of the dangers.
