Maritime London Officer Cadet Scholarship (MLOCS) is pleased to announce the appointment of Just Be Maritime (JBM) as the scheme’s training provider.
MLOCS is a charity which provides the funds to enable young people to undertake the three years of training required to become a Merchant Navy officer following a Deck (Navigation), Marine Engineer or Electro-Technical (ETO) professional pathway.
To date, MLOCS has raised more than £3m in support of cadet training. The charity currently has ten cadets under various stages of training.
MLOCS cadets additionally benefit from their involvement, through the sponsors and the MLOCS trustees, with a wide range of experience in the maritime services sector generally and so enhancing future job opportunities.
Anthony Vlasto, Chairman of MLOCS, commented, “We are delighted to be appointing Just Be Maritime Ltd (JBM) as our new Training Provider with effect from 29th July 2024. The deep experience of the JBM team in all aspects of cadet management will greatly enhance our offering to the potential seafarers of tomorrow and we look forward to a long and fruitful association to the benefit of our current and future cadets.”
Don Millar, Managing Director of JBM, responded, “With its longstanding commitment to funding Officer Cadetships, we are excited that MLOCS has decided to engage Just Be Maritime’s services in support of their cadet training programme. We look forward to working closely with everyone in the MLOCS team.”
