The sessions of the last day consisted of presentations delivered by senior IMO staff and focused mainly on safety and security issues.The participants grabbed this opportunity in order to learn from the instructors’ expertise but also in order to interact with each other discuss thoroughly on the current issues that the cruise industry is facing as well as exchange personal experiences and best practices.
The periodical organisation of the Professional Development Course is among the many benefits that MedCruise regular and associate members enjoy.
