#Stena@NMCI – The Stena Association of Maritime Institutes (STAMI) held its first meeting of 2015 at the National Maritime College of Ireland in Cork.
It is the first time the association, made up of ten training institutes from three continents, has held one of its bi-annual meetings in Ireland according to the NMCI.
Topping the agenda of the 10th STAMI conference was cultural awareness and teamwork.
Northern Marine was the driving force in the establishment of STAMI in 2009 and continues to support its aims to highlight best practices in the industry and set common standards for maritime training for Stena Group Seafarers.
Training institutes and Industry representatives from across the globe were welcomed to the NMCI where the two-day event ended yesterday.
Afloat.ie adds that Northern Marine manages a multi-national crew of more than 6,000 seafarers operating a diverse range of vessels among them ferries, LPG carriers and VLCC tankers.
An onshore team of 400 provide support staff, technical and ship-management services to include those outside the Stena Sphere.
