MARSATI to rehabilitate human resources, create jobs
5-6-2017
The minister of public works and transportation, Youssef Finianos, launched on Friday the graduation ceremony from the Maritime Science and Technology Institute- MARSATI/Batroun of internal security forces ISF squads who completed a sea captain/maritime officer/mariner course bound to work on high seas explorer boats. The main goal of establishing said institute, Finianos maintained, is to rehabilitate operational maritime cadres and create new jobs in marine navigation, pointing that the cornerstone of MARSATI has been elaborated back in 2010. Then, Finianos maintained, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) included Lebanon in the ‘white list’ of member states in observance of standards of training, vacation, coastguards, marine traffic and the issuance of certificates for seafarers. The minister stressed the need to comply with international requirements to equip MARSATI with the necessary technical apparatus and complement it with the construction of a university-level academy in marine engineering and navigation. The sought-for facility is expected to offer a 4-year degree in one of the two areas: basic education for marine officers/mariners, and basic education for marine engineers, Finianos explained, noting that the Lebanese-issued certificates of qualification are internationally credited. He also pointed out that some 4344 students from 7 Arab countries have benefited so far from the courses or services of the Institute. (Al Mustaqbal, June 3, 2017)
