As the maritime industry enters a decade of change, next generation mariners like Sam Anderson will learn their chosen profession's safety and environmental skills at places like the Seattle-based Pacific Maritime Institute (PMI). Scott Merritt, Foss Maritime's senior vice president for operations, recently addressed Anderson and other graduating cadets of PMI's workboat mate program. The institute's two-year program was established specifically so young mariners can be trained for jobs even as today's deck officers reach retirement age.
