A new alliance for growth and opportunity is the collaboration in 2023 with the Municipality and the Merchant Marine School of Honduras which set up a permanent school on our premises. This cooperation will open marine courses to young people in rural areas that wish to find employment in the shipping industry. The demand from the community has surpassed our expectations and courses are being filled to capacity. The total cost of the Merchant Marine Training and Certifications (STCW) is $2,500.
