The conference, jointly organized by the university’s faculty and The Nautical Institute since 2007, was held on June 21-23, 2017 in Gdynia, Poland. The event was addressed to scientists and professionals in order to share their expert knowledge, experience and research results concerning all aspects of navigation, safety of navigation and sea transportation.

A comfortable conference hall, coffee break and lounge zones were installed at the territory of terminal, so the participants could observe the RISOIL terminal coordinated work during the breaks.

4th International Forum on Seafarers’ Education, Training & Crewing (ETC 2016)

Odessa, 20-21 April

To recognise the 15th Anniversary of the formation of the Branch, the Nautical Institute of Ukraine held an International Seminar and Celebratory event in Odessa in October

This important event, organised by the Odessa National Maritime Academy, was well supported by many of the world’s leading ship managers and crewing agencies. This should come as no surprise, as Ukraine is the third largest provider of seafarers to IMEC companies after Philippines and India. There are estimated to be about 10,000 cadets in training in the Ukraine and 70,000 seafarers in the industry. Seafaring and shipping services are a respected profession in the Ukraine and due to economic issues, a long career at sea is a good career move.
