Just Be Maritime Ltd (JBM) is pleased to confirm that its Officer Cadet Management Services have been engaged by the Worcester Merchant Navy Cadetship Scheme (WMNCS), whose Officer Cadet programme will be operated as a joint venture in partnership with the Corporation of Trinity House.
Earlier this year, former cadets of one of Britain’s leading training ships launched a sponsorship programme, which will see a new stream of Merchant Navy cadets being trained under the name of their college, HMS Worcester.
HMS Worcester was founded in 1862 and trained cadets in a series of four ships, which included the Cutty Sark tea and wool clipper, until the college was integrated into a successor college in 1968. Known as the Incorporated Thames Nautical Training College, HMS Worcester trained thousands of Merchant Navy cadets during more than 100 years of service.
Peter Melson, ex-Worcester cadet and former Royal Navy Commodore, said, “The training of today’s Merchant Navy officers to a safe and professional standard is an exacting business and, understandably, is not cheap. In conjunction with Trinity House, the Worcester scheme offers funding of all training and seagoing costs, after government financial support is taken into account.”
Don Millar, Managing Director of JBM, replied, “With its historic maritime training links, we are thrilled that the Worcester MNCS has chosen Just Be Maritime’s services in support of their cadet training programme. We look forward to working closely with Peter and his team.”
