Association Berates Seafarers Over Shipping Technology
Maritime activities
ended last Friday with a remark by Capt. Niyi Labinjo, President, Nigerian Ship owners Association (NISA) that seafarers were not catching up with modern shipping technology.
Labinjo, who made the assertion in an interview with newsmen in Lagos, said that the slow pace had affected the marketability of seafarers worldwide.
According to him, technology has left seafarers behind because all over the world, including Nigeria, seafarers are not moving at the same pace with shipping technology.
“A professional seafarer knows what he went through. If you go through the trainings and you eventually qualified, you will not joke with your certificate.
“ You will guide it, because you know the efforts you put in to earn the certificate,’’ Labinjo said.
“We are going to do something about training of seafarers so that we can go further,’’ he told reporters.
Labinjo said that the association recently organised a training programme on turbo chargers based on the fact that the association (NISA) recognised that ships carried turbo chargers.
The mariner said that training of seafarers would make ships to have longer life-span.
