Also try:
which seaward
If that shows /usr/bin/seaward your terminal is finding the command in
your path. Reason for the `file /usr/bin/seaward` was to determine whether
or not it was a valid symbolic link but tbh the ls -la /usr/bin/seaward
showed that it was a symlink to /usr/bin/CTS/seaward already so dunno why I
asked you to do that.
If you call the script with its absolute path e.g:
/usr/bin/seaward
Does it work?

What is that CTS doing there?

I've got it now thanks guys. It was an ownership issue. It's now packaged in
a deb file and installing correctly.
Just so we can all learn from the problem, can you tell us why it would not run?
(I realised what the CTS was after I posted that question).

I copied the file manually into usr/bin so it was still owned by me. I
realised the problem when I saw the guide provided by one of the Alans
earlier said:
fakeroot dpkg-deb --build myscript
fakerootis a special tool that runs another program (in this
casedpkg-deb) and fakes all filesystem ownerships as being'root:root'.
This is needed because the files in this Debian package need to be owned
by root. Thedpkg-deb --buildcommand takes care of creating the package.
