World Maritime Day continues to be celebrated around the world, with events highlighting the 2015 theme: “Maritime Education and Training”. This week (5-7 October), the North American World Maritime Day conference was held at the State University of New York Maritime College. Individual speakers, plenary sessions, and a series of workshops addressed three separate interest groups: educators, industry and administrators. IMO’s Fred Kenney gave a keynote address and participated in panel discussions on topics related to the theme.
