Adventure. Hard work. Real-world experience.

This summer, Maine Maritime Academy students Alma Bewsher, Mason Quiet, and Jack Leach took part in Coastal Transportation Inc.’s Summer Mariner Program, gaining hands-on experience aboard merchant vessels in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. ...Through intensive training in seamanship, cargo operations, navigation, and vessel handling, they put their classroom knowledge into practice while learning alongside professional mariners.

As Alma shared, the program offers "adventure" and the opportunity to "do the navigating yourself" while gaining valuable industry experience. Mason described it as "one of the best co-ops you can do."

Experiences like these help prepare Maine Maritime Academy students to become capable, confident leaders in the maritime industry.
