ETC-2016 The Nautical Institute Report

4th International Forum on Seafarers’ Education, Training & Crewing (ETC 2016)

Odessa, 20-21 April

 

There was a good, international mix of presenters at this now well established Forum efficiently organised by the Odessa National Maritime Academy which has recently been granted University status. The Rector, Professor Mykhalyo Miyusov, exercised a quiet authority over proceedings combined with warm hospitality and it was good to see that the TK Foundation had funded a significant attendance of cadets. A feature throughout the two days was the enthusiasm of these bright, young entrants to our industry and the searching questions they posed to most of the speakers within the sessions and during the meal breaks.
