This question was answered on 26th April 2017
As part of the overall Survey and Inspection Transformation Programme, the closure of Tyne Marine Office will save the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) £88k per annum.
As a direct response to the feedback received during the consultation, the MCA has retained its presence in the north east of England by opening the exam centre in South Tyneside College.
The Maritime and Coastguard Agency will continue to offer customers an appointment based service when appropriate.
