‘Open Day’ at the National Maritime College of Ireland

#OpenDay@NMCI – An 'Open Day' at the National Maritime College of Ireland (NMCI), Europe's only purpose built maritime education college which celebrated its 10th anniversary earlier this month, is to be held on Tuesday 21 October.

Times for the Open Day are 10am-3pm. Visitors can take tours to view the impressive facilities located at the campus in Ringsakiddy, Cork Harbour.

The world class maritime education and training centre at NMCI became the first third level college in the country to be built under the Government's Public-Private Partnership scheme.

NMCI is a constituent college of CIT and brings together the Irish Naval Service and Merchant Marine under one roof in one of the most advanced maritime academies of its type in the world.

We've got a favour to ask

More people are reading Afloat.ie than ever thanks to the power of the internet but we're in stormy seas because advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news sites, we haven’t put up a paywall because we want to keep our marine journalism open.

Afloat.ie is Ireland's only full–time marine journalism team and it takes time, money and hard work to produce our content.

So you can see why we need to ask for your help.

If everyone chipped in, we can enhance our coverage and our future would be more secure. You can help us through a small donation. Thank you.
