You may know that the NMCI are official patrons to the 2015 Maritime Industry Awards and the countdown is nearly over as the Awards Night is just under 36 hours away. We couldn’t be more excited. GTSS & SNO have been nominated for the Excellence in Maritime Education & Training Award so a bit of competition amongst ourselves should make for an interesting night.
With a drinks reception at 7pm in the Ballsbridge Hotel we can’t wait to network with all of the different industry partners who will be in attendance. Our maritime colleagues from near and far will be in attendance to recognise and celebrate the most innovative companies in the Irish maritime sector.
