We paid special attention to \u201cApplication\u201d section, trying to make this process accessible and friendly as much as possible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTop tool\u201d and key of our website pretend to be section News &amp; Forum, the main engine of our website fueled by your comments and articles. You are very welcome and we encourage each of you to post your opinions, ideas, photos, news and everything else you like to share or comment with us ref shipping industry and seafaring in general.<\/p>\n<p>On the sky still are black clouds, last years the shipping businesses were dramatically and irreversibly changed, ships are also changing, I think everyone need a new approach on everything connected within the industry and water-world in general. What will be the changes? Probably will be new engines, new fuels, new maritime laws and regulations, new seafarers? Probably a bit of everything\u2026<\/p>\n<p>The horizon is not very clear at moment, the crisis biting seriously from entire industry, cadets training almost stopped, to seafarers are constantly added more and more duties, majority being pure bureaucratic\u2026 etc. The Seafarers, as we described them as most valuable assets, the professionals who design \u2013 build and navigate the best ships, we should find the way to maintain these professions at the highest standards being one of crucial points on passing actual situation. That\u2019s one of our opinions, and we\u2019ll be pleased to hear that\u2019s yours too\u2026<\/p>\n<p>I heard while ago an absolutely original definition of horizon\u2026 by definition the horizon (or skyline) is the apparent line that separates earth from sky, the line that divides all visible directions into two categories: those that intersect the Earth\u2019s surface, and those that do not.<\/p>\n<p>Let me define a new horizon: when you are on the sea coast looking towards sea you\u2019ll notice the skyline as above\u2026 we are right there on that line and we can see farther and farther\u2026 so these are our horizons\u2026<\/p>\n<p>We are looking forward for you opinions, ideas, interesting stories and comments.<\/p>\n<p>Wherever you are take care, stay safe and have always good winds!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome and thank you for your patience waiting to launch our website.
