UK based ECDIS training & consultancy company, ECDIS Ltd, celebrate two years of awarding a HDMM sponsored monthly prize to students

UK based ECDIS training and consultancy company ECDIS Ltd are celebrating over two years award of the Honourable Company of Master Mariners (HCMM) sponsored ECDIS prize.  The prize is awarded to the best ECDIS student of the month and is eligible to all those undertaking a generic IMO 1.27 ECDIS training course with ECDIS Ltd.

In recognition of their success, the worthy recipient receives an elegant gift and a plaque with the student’s name on it adorns the ‘Ship’s Wheel’ at ECDIS Ltd’s facility.

Malcolm Instone, Director of Operations & Standards at ECDIS Ltd, says,

“All at ECDIS Ltd are immensely proud of the company’s link with the HCMM and are extremely honoured that they are sponsoring one of our prizes.  By doing so they are actively encouraging mariners not to simply meet the mandated minimum requirement of certification, but to strive to constantly improve and better themselves in the field of navigation and ECDIS in particular.  Professional development is the application of the will of the individual to build upon knowledge acquired through education, training and experience; something which lies at the heart of ECDIS Ltd and the HCMM.”

The HCMM added,

“The Honourable Company has as its core purpose the maintenance of standards and professionalism of Deck Officers of the Merchant Service and the continuing need to incorporate modern technologies in the operation of and management of command facilities at sea and particularly in the area of navigational safety.  The Master Mariners are proud to support the work of ECDIS Ltd in this field.”
