Fulton Dunn, GCNS Staff DevelopmentManager approached the School ofMarine Engineering to assist inarranging a ships visit for non-marinelecturing staff.
The School of Business,Communication and ICT identified theneed to have an insight of the workingenvironment of our Engineering andDeck Cadets together with aknowledge and understanding of themanagement and operationalstructure of a merchant vessel. Theyfelt this would be beneficial tothemselves as educationalpractitioners to be able to relatemore to the Cadets when teachingsubjects such as mathematics, IT,business awareness, practicalcommunications and management.
A visit was arranged to the MaerskMaryland, one of two Maerskcontainer vessels laid up at the GreatHarbour in Greenock. The GCNSdelegation of Jack Hides, Arthur
Turnbull, Robert Craw, GeraldineZacahria (Business, Communicationand ICT) John Hercus, Andrew Wylie,Narayan Subbramaniam and Ian Fraser(Engineering) was met by Captain BobEllsmoor and welcomed aboard theship. Captain Ellsmoor and his officersshowed the GCNS party, the ship’sengine room, ballast control room,bridge and the crews’ quarters. At theend of the visit the non-marinelecturing staff thought that it hadbeen a worthwhile exercise in that itput working with the Cadets into moreof a context and gave them anunderstanding of life aboard a ship.
