Smooth sailing for Ireland’s first maritime college
Learning to manoeuvre ships using one of the world’s most advanced ship simulators and practicing underwater helicopter evacuation techniques in a giant water tank will be among the highlights for students attending the €51 million National Maritime College of Ireland (NMCI) in Ringaskiddy, Co Cork.
The NMCI will cater for marine studies students from Cork Institute of Technology (CIT) and for the non-military needs of the Irish Naval Service (INS).
