British shipping calls for doubling of training cash

摘要

The UK Chamber of Shipping is trying to persuade the British government to double its contribution to maritime training from GBP15 million (USD20.3 million) a year to GBP30 million. Under the SMarT (Support for Maritime Training) Plus scheme, the shipping industry will match any government contribution to seafarer training, as well as guaranteeing a job for newly trained cadets for a minimum of one year.
