Hong Kong-based shipmanager Anglo-Eastern's Maritime Academy has taken over a nautical college at Karjat, near Mumbai, India. "This is an investment that has been fully funded by Anglo-Eastern alone," company chief executive Peter Cremers said. "We consider it to be critical to our business. It is a long-term insurance for the growth of the company. We will now be able to add mandatory STCW training to our normal post-mandatory curriculum and have our Anglo-Eastern safety culture embedded into our crews, right from day one." Pradeep Chawla, Anglo-Eastern's director of quality assurance and training told SASI that there was always a massive response to its recruiting programme. "We typically get over 1,500 applications for 200 seats," he said.
