Maine Maritime Academy students are making waves at the Maine Science Festival in Bangor!

Our students are engaging with local middle schoolers in a hands-on engineering challenge: build a boat and test how much weight it can hold before sinking! It’s an exciting way to inspire the next ...generation of scientists, engineers, and mariners.

We were honored to welcome Chirag Bahri, International Operations Manager at ISWAN, as a guest speaker in our Mariner Happiness and Wellbeing class today. Chirag, who survived an eight-month pirate hostage situation and rebuilt his maritime career, shared invaluable insights on seafarer wellbeing, ...ISWAN’s support resources, and strategies to overcome maritime challenges.

This course equips mariners with tools and strategies to enhance happiness and overall wellbeing, exploring positive psychology, practical happiness strategies, and addressing maritime-specific mental health challenges.

ISWAN (International Seafarers’ Welfare and Assistance Network) is dedicated to improving the welfare of seafarers worldwide, offering vital support services such as helplines, mental health resources, crisis response, and practical guidance for those facing hardships at sea. Their work plays a crucial role in promoting the wellbeing of mariners and their families.

Thank you, Chirag, for sharing your expertise and experiences with our students!
