GAC launches maritime training initiative

GAC, the Dubai-based shipping, logistics and marine services provider, has formed a joint venture with the National Maritime College of Ireland to provide training courses for both seafarers and shore-based shipping personnel. The new venture, GAC Training & Service Solutions, will offer course modules ranging from safety and security to laytime and demurrage for terminal jetty operators. Courses will be available at the training facility at NMCI in Cork, Ireland, the client's location and through e-learning technology.
