For those that accept the responsibility of saving lives at sea, #training is an essential part of the role.

Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine Mr Simon Coveney T.D was in Ringaskiddy at the National Maritime College of Ireland today to help promote Cork Harbour Open Day 2011. The event which takes place on Saturday 10th September is aimed at embracing and showcasing what Cork Harbour has to offer.
This is the third year of Cork Harbour Open Day and organisers are hopeful that the wide range of events, such as, concerts on Spike Island, photographic Exhibition in Camden Fort, guided tours of an Irish naval ship and an open day at the National Maritime College of Ireland, will attract many people. A programme of events to date can be found on www.corkharbour.ie

The idea for a Harbour Open Day emerged three years ago following discussions between various stakeholders involved in the development and implementation of the Integrated Strategy for Cork Harbour. A group comprising of representatives from UCC, City and County Councils, Irish Navy and the Port of Cork set about working together to engage with users of the Harbour and to organise the Open Day.
Cork Harbour is the second largest natural harbour in the world, next to Sydney Harbour, offering beautiful locations for enjoying the outdoors, dramatic coastlines, and excellent leisure facilities, and is home to some very talented artists, sportsmen and women, and people who are passionate about the history, heritage and cultural value of Cork Harbour.
If you would like to be involved in Cork Harbour Open Day or organise an event on the day, please contact Sara Mackeown at harbourevents@corkharbour.ie or 021-4625375.
All delegates who undertook or intend to undergo BOSIET training we recommend they keep a close eye on the Northern Marine Manning Services (NMMS) website. NMMS have a team of dedicated recruitment specialists with many years of experience in all aspects of resource management.
On June 29-30, 2011, NMCI Services attended the RenewableUK Offshore Wind 2011 Conference and Exhibition in Liverpool, UK.
Offshore Wind 2011, took place at the Arena and Convention Center (ACC) in Liverpool, is one of the leading renewable energy conferences and exhibitions.
The two-day event was attended by 167 companies and over 2,500 delegates. The event served as the perfect change for us to meet people with an interest in the development of the renewable sector in the UK and worldwide.
We found the event hugely worthwhile, it allowed us to learn a lot about the growing sector but more importantly a lot about what our prospective clients need from us as a training provider.
In our view achieving Renewable UK’s MST training standard is our goal for 2011, our ambition is to be the first training provider in Ireland to secure and offer the approved MST, and to become a centre of excellence in offshore renewable training for the Ireland and the UK as a whole.
Lend Lease and NMCI Services are delighted to support St Aidan’s Community College in a fund raising drive for the World Scholar Athlete Games. The school has travelled to the US to compete at the game and we have gladly donated sports gear for their team.
25 students and 4 teachers from St. Aidan’s have travelled to the University of Connecticut and there will be over 2,500 students and their teachers from all corners of the globe taking part.
There is both an academic and sporting element to the games and the main themes for this year are Fair Play, Leadership, Ethics and Personal Social Responsibility.
We have no doubt that they will be exceptional representatives for our county and our country at this international event and we wish them the best of luck.
NMCI has a long standing relationship of assisting cork sports through the use of our facilities, in which a number of schools in the Cork area use.
Christer Sjödoff, Group Vice President GAC Solutions and Director GAC Training & Service Solutions (GTSS), explores how training providers are adapting their philosophies and methods to face the needs of the modern maritime industry.
The maritime industry has always been the backbone of world trade but now its businesses face a multitude of pressures from within its operating environment. Amid continued economic uncertainty, shrinking margins, rising bunker prices, increasingly stringent environmental regulations and ongoing operational challenges, it is perhaps understandable that some might regard training as just another cost.
