Nautilus members and staff were excited to be back at this year's Pride in London parade on 2 July.
Parading under the banner of Pride in Maritime – part of Maritime UK's diversity programme – representatives marched, danced, chanted and sang their way though central London during the iconic event, demonstrating that the industry is welcoming to LGBT+ people and is open to everyone.
Other organisations taking part under the same banner included The Seafarers' Charity, ISWAN, ITF, CMA-CGM, Standard Club and RYA.
The 2022 Pride in London route followed that of the first Pride march in the city, which took place 50 years ago.
Stena Line and the Port of London Authority attended for the first time, and paraded alongside the Pride in Maritime group, forming an industry section of over 150 people.
