Description

Early in 1994 a group of the concerned members of British Columbia Branch of the Nautical Institute raised over $3,000 by donation and secured an agreement with a major international shipping company, with offices in Vancouver, to place four Canadian Junior Officers in training positions. The ships were fully crewed and there was no incentive for the company to replace their low-cost officers with Canadians. However, there was an undertaking to provide board and lodging at no cost to the trainee and to ensure that a broad range of training opportunities was available.

Language is also a concern in some ports. With multinational crews where English is the working language, there can be situations where terminal staff are not attuned to the variations of the English language which could compromise safety. As our personnel have had many years experience working with different nationals where English is not their first language, they are able to quickly understand what the directive or request may be between ship and terminal and vice versa.
