The first international port call of Summer Sea Term is officially underway: St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador!

Early this morning, Training Ship STATE OF MAINE made a spectacular arrival in St. John’s, Newfoundland, passing through the iconic Narrows and entering one of North ...America’s most historic and picturesque harbors.

For many of our students, this marks their first visit to Newfoundland and an exciting opportunity to experience a new culture, explore the city’s rich maritime heritage, and enjoy all that St. John’s has to offer.

As the ship tied up alongside the waterfront, anticipation was high among the crew and cadets eager to step ashore and begin exploring this vibrant coastal city. From colorful row houses and rugged coastal scenery to world-famous hospitality, St. John’s promises to be a memorable stop on this year’s voyage.

Cadet Shipping Student Highlight

This summer, Maine Maritime Academy students are gaining invaluable hands-on experience through Cadet Shipping assignments around the world, building the skills and knowledge that prepare them for successful maritime careers.

Meet Deck Cadet Rosa ...McDonald from Grand Canyon, Arizona.

Rosa is spending her summer with Moran Towing aboard the Hayley Moran in San Juan, Puerto Rico, where she is gaining real-world experience in tugboat operations and learning firsthand what it takes to support safe and efficient vessel movements in a busy port environment.

Cadet Shipping provides students with the opportunity to apply classroom knowledge in professional maritime settings, develop industry connections, and build the practical experience that employers value.
