The NMCI featured in episode two of ‘Cork Mega Port’ on Monday May 5th. The episode showed the SEFtec NMCI Offshore (SNO) team delivering a BOSIET course for delegates preparing to work offshore. Underwater cameras were used to give an exciting insight of the helicopter safety and escape training in action in the sea survival pool. Four hour-long episodes have been produced by Goldhawk Media who spent over four months filming at the Port of Cork.
The crew behind the documentary followed all port employees including management, crane drivers, tug operators, pilots, launch crew and maintenance and engineering staff. Informative, engaging and often humorous this documentary focuses not just on the port’s operations but also on the people who make it all possible. Monday’s episode can been seen on TV3 player at http://www.tv3.ie/3player/show/608/0/0/Cork-Mega-Port
‘Cork Mega Port’ airs on TV3, Monday’s at 9pm.

We are often asked what exactly is involved in a BOSIET course and what should a delegate expect to have learnt having completed the course. To begin with BOSIET stands for Basic Offshore Safety Induction and Emergency Training and is a course designed to meet the emergency requirements necessary for personnel new to the offshore oil and gas industry.
During the BOSIET course, which is run over a three day period, delegates learn to identify the main offshore hazards and hazard effects/consequences and their associated risks and how they are controlled in the offshore environment.
In a simulated environment delegates learn how to use safety equipment and follow procedures in preparing for and during helicopter emergencies, demonstrate Sea Survival skills and First Aid techniques.
Delegates are also required to demonstrate that they can effectively use basic fire fighting equipment and practise self-rescue techniques in low visibility situations, including smoke filled areas.
Let’s take a look at this week’s training, in pictures.

In June 2013, as a result of a fall, Nathan Kirwan suffered a C4 spinal cord injury just two weeks before he was due to graduate from the National Maritime College of Ireland as a Marine Engineer.
The Nathan Kirwan Trust was set up by his family and friends to raise money to aid his recovery. Now recovering in The Guttmann Institute in Barcelona, Nathan documents his progress through this blog Nathan’s Recovery Blog
On the 12th December Lend Lease FM at the NMCI organised a “Wear Your Christmas Jumper to Work Day” in aid of the Nathan Kirwan Trust. The day was a huge success and we were delighted to welcome Nathan’s brother, Darren, and sister, Aisling, to the college to join in with the festivities.
With the proceeds from refreshments bought in the canteen together with staff and student’s generous donations over €1,000 was raised for the Nathan Kirwan Trust.
Details of all upcoming events can be found on the Nathan Kirwan Trust Facebook page including details of the DIAMOND BALL which will be held on February 8th 2014 in the Rochestown Park Hotel, Cork. Tickets are €60 and available through Ticketmaster or by emailing diamondball2014@gmail.com
From all at the NMCI, we wish Nathan the very best with his recovery in 2014!
