19-July-2014
Education Minister Macsuzy Mondon hopes that through the partnership with Cinec the status of the Maritime Training Centre will be enhanced to become an important maritime training centre in the region.
Minister Mondon made this remark in her address during the Colombo International Nautical and Engineering College’s (Cinec) 2014 graduation ceremony. She was the guest of honour.
Cinec is a Maritime Training College in Sri Lanka with which the Ministry of Education has signed a three-year agreement since August 2013. This followed the State visit of President James Michel to Sri Lanka in August 2012. Under the agreement, Cinec assumed the management of the Maritime Training Centre (MTC) of Seychelles since October 1, 2013.
Also present at the graduation ceremony from Seychelles were the chief executive of the Seychelles Petroleum Company Limited (Sepec) Conrad Benoiton who is also the chairman of the MTC board, and Pierre Prosper, the shipping and crew manager from Sepec.
During her address, Minister Mondon expressed satisfaction with the progress made to date by Cinec in the management of the MTC.
“Through this partnership with Cinec the status of the Maritime Training Centre of Seychelles is being enhanced and we hope that it will emerge as an important maritime training centre in the region,” said Minister Mondon.
The minister also thanked Cinec for the help being provided to the Seychelles Maritime Safety Administration (SMSA) to obtain international recognition by placing Seychelles on the white list of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO).
“I am pleased to note that 19 Seychellois students who successfully completed their Basic Standards Training, Certification and Watch-Keeping Course (STCW) organised by Cinec through the MTC of Seychelles are now undergoing their three-month pre-sea training at the Cinec campus. These students are aiming to pursue their career on the Seychelles tankers,” said Minister Mondon.
The minister also expressed hope that through this partnership and collaboration with Cinec, more Seychellois pursuing a career in the maritime field will be trained in the future at this facility.
Aside from attending the Cinec graduation ceremony, Minister Mondon also visited the Cinec campus and got the opportunity to meet and interact with the 19 Seychellois students currently undertaking their pre-sea training at Cinec.
Hard at work the students expressed their appreciation in being given this training opportunity and the minister wished them courage and success in their training in Sri Lanka and called on them to take full advantage of all the knowledge, facilities and experience Cinec has to offer for the duration of their training.
While in Sri Lanka on the five-day working visit, Minister Mondon undertook various ministerial meetings with the Sri Lankan Minister for Education, Honourable Bandula Gunawardhana, and the Sri Lankan Minister for Higher Education Honourable, S.B. Dissanayake. She also visited numerous key educational institutions of interest.
