UK-based Graig Ship Management says it is widening its training scheme by sponsoring twenty Vietnamese officer cadets. Under an agreement with Ho Chi Minh City-based University of Transport and Dutch education provider STC,

Graig Ship Management will sponsor ten 2nd year and ten 3rd year
cadets, both deck and engine, to complete their seatime leading to
their first certificate and also a BSc in Maritime Studies on
completion of training. Each cadet will also complete an intensive
internationally-recognised English course.

“Vietnam has a strong seafaring tradition and excellent training
facilities, but these young men and women lack opportunities to develop
themselves in international shipping. Graig can help them, and develop
a new source of good crews from the ground up,” explains GSM CEO Ian
Morgan.

Graig currently sponsors seven UK officer cadets and provides training
berths for Filipino trainee seamen. “We are delighted that one of our
UK deck cadets and one engineer have recently qualified, and Rebecca
Newdick, who recently won Cadet of the Year, is now set for her first
voyage as Third Officer on the Thor Spirit,” says Morgan. “We will
continue to train in the UK and the Philippines. But by extending our
training scheme to include Vietnamese officer cadets we will widen the
pool of skilled crew we can place at the service of our clients.”
