The MTWTU Chairman, Oleg Grygoriuk, together with the ITF Legal Director, Ruwan Subasinghe, visited the National University “Odesa Maritime Academy”.
The Academy's management spoke about the education of future maritime specialists and demonstrated the modern training facilities. Guests had the opportunity to familiarise themselves with the simulators where cadets practise the skills necessary for working in the maritime and saw how theoretical knowledge is transformed into real experience for future seafarers.
The Academy is particularly proud of the project implemented by the MTWTU with the support of the International Maritime Employers' Association (IMEC) to purchase and install a full-scale engine room simulator from Kongsberg Maritime worth approximately USD 660,000.
“Even after such a short time, I can already see the dedication and professionalism you demonstrate as a premier educational institution. I can see that the next generation of Ukrainian maritime professionals is in reliable hands,” said Ruwan Subasinghe.
Today's meeting is another opportunity to demonstrate the Ukrainian maritime education's potential and emphasise that even in difficult conditions, it continues to develop, modernise and train specialists for the global maritime industry.
