On Thursday February 6th, it was our pleasure to be able to make a book award to Master 150GT student, Thierry Lefebvre-Lepage, at the Western Maritime Institute campus in Ladysmith, Vancouver Island. In the attached photograph Thierry accepts his award (the DOKMAR international Collision Regulations Guide Book) from Captains Stan Bowles and Joachim Ruether of the NPESC.
We were very pleased to make a book award to Ms. Robin Haynes at Camosun College earlier this week. Robin is a student in the 150 Ton Master program and aspired to work in the coastal tourism industry as a skipper of a natural history cruise vessel. The book awarded to Robin was “Golden Stripes” in which Captain V.S. Parani combines the credibility of his seafaring experience with his talent as a master storyteller to reveal the leadership challenges at sea and his strategies for staying on course.
