Maritime college to train global workers

Shipping and other companies from the Middle East and beyond will be sending more workers for expert training in Cork over the next year.

The National Maritime College of Ireland (NMCI), part of Cork Institute of Technology, has facilities among the world’s best for training new and experienced workers in the shipping industry.

Among the 72 graduates of NMCI whose awards were conferred yesterday were a number from the Seychelles who have completed marine and plant engineering degrees.
