Intelligence competition between seafarers

Today, for the second time, the Maritime Transport Workers Trade Union of Ukraine organized an intellectual and entertaining game for the families of the MTWTU members by City Quiz project.

Eleven teams checked their knowledge and ingenuity answering questions, solving puzzles, guessing melodies - and all of these was on the maritime and trade union subject.

The First Deputy Chairman of the MTWTU Oleg Grigoruk wished good luck to all the participants: “I am glad to welcome you to our event. It is very pleasant that whole families with children are here. Have a good time with your friends and colleagues!”

At the end of the game, all participants received letters and gifts from the MTWTU. But the main gift, in the opinion of the sailors, was the opportunity to escape from the everyday hustle and bustle, change the atmosphere, socialize and meet new people and friends.
