The tradition of Company-Run Seminars that began at Armona three years ago as a requirement in TMSA Element 3A has exceeded all expectations! Our 6th Company-Run Seminar, which took place at the Armona Office on November 8th and 9th, was the largest and most successful yet, with the participation of 25 Senior Officers, 14 Junior Officers, and many crew members and cadets. Following the speeches of our CEO, Lorenz Weinstabl, and our CTO, Semih Falay (the picture shows Captain Semih Falay addressing his welcome to the audience), the program proceeded with insightful presentations by the shore personnel and keynote speakers regarding a wide range of subjects, such as the psychology of seafarers, cyber attacks, media response, legal know-how at sea, and learning from incidents that have occurred in the sector.
The seminar was not only educational but also provided an opportunity for the shore personnel to become well acquainted with the company seafarers through a lunch at a famous kebab restaurant in Ortaköy, a night of rakı-balık (rakı-fish) in Beşiktaş, and a pizza party/cocktail hosted in the office.
Thank you to everyone who joined!
