25 years of experience, P&I Club certificates, yellow fever vaccination, special offers for seafarers from other countries: transfer service, accommodation search, discounts on certificates in partner training centers, employment assistance through Georgian crewing companies.

TOP European Marine Training Centres. Where to go When Certificates Expire?

Every five years the command staff is required to change certificates and update the package of documents for further work. Ratings need to improve their qualifications to move up the career ladder. But what to do if you now live in Europe and there is no opportunity to undergo training in a Ukrainian TC?


When the Storm is Inside You: the Problem that is not Talked About - Suicidal Tendencies at Sea.
The seafarer's profession is one of the most stressful, with high isolation and harsh working conditions, and can lead to increased stress levels, depression and, as a consequence, suicidal risks.
What leads a person to suicidal thoughts and what should you do if you have suicidal thoughts?
She Only Wants My Money

This phrase is often presented as the «last argument» in a fight, in the heat of emotions as an extreme expression of resentment and it can reflect a man’s emotional experiences that his value in relationships is only reduced to material support.





Joint Research Project to Discover Medicinal Resources from Marine Organisms Launched

This project seeks to identify previously unknown substances that may have beneficial applications for humanity, including potential new medicinal resources, from marine organisms attached to ship hulls and other surfaces, and to elucidate the effects of those substances.
 
This endeavor led to the discovery of an unknown natural substance, the effects of which were subsequently analyzed in collaboration with Professor NOZAKI Tomoyoshi’s research group at the Graduate School of Medicine at The University of Tokyo.
 
Preliminary results revealed that the substance inhibits the growth of Rhodesian trypanosome, the pathogen responsible for African sleeping sickness*, a disease classified as a “neglected tropical disease.” This finding was presented at the annual meeting of the Chemical Society of Japan in March 2025** by a student from the Iwasaki Laboratory.
 
Building on the outcomes of the initial research, Chuo University and NYK have formalized a five-year joint research agreement. Chuo University’s Iwasaki Laboratory will collect marine organisms, explore unknown natural substances, and evaluate their usefulness, while NYK will primarily facilitate the collection of these marine organisms.
