Kenyan students at the Bandari Maritime Academy will get practical training aboard international vessels. Kenyan cadets from the academy will be trained on board some of the 560 ships owned by the shipping line. The MD said some untapped talents at the Coast could offer value to vessels and the maritime sector in general. Shipping and Maritime Affairs PS Nancy Karigithu said talks with the French shipping line started in March and advanced quickly because of the academy's high standards. The agreement aims to create opportunities to provide maritime opportunities to cadets as well as training for shore-based shipping and ports operations trainees.
