Our collaboration with KS Zatoka Puck in Poland is not only about fostering young talent in sailing but also about building lasting relationships with future seafarers in Poland. Through this partnership, we provide essential resources such as equipment and sponsorships, helping young sailors pursue their passion and develop critical skills in a supportive environment.
KS Zatoka Puck, renowned for nurturing sailing talent, introduces over 300 children to the sport each year. Many of these young sailors go on to compete in both national and international regattas, making this club an ideal partner for Uni-Tankers. One of the highlights of this partnership is the sponsorship of Poland’s largest Optimist class regatta, the Zatoka Puck Cup, which attracts over 400 participants annually. By supporting such events, we are not just investing in sporting excellence but in the personal growth and development of the youth.
Yet, our involvement in the development of future maritime professionals extends beyond the realm of sailing. We are proud to offer a structured cadet strategy that also supports aspiring Polish seafarers. This program mirrors our successful cadet program and offers equal opportunities for cadets of all nationalities. The purpose is to engage Polish cadets in maritime careers and retain them within our company. Through this strategy, we aim to create a supportive environment conducive to the professional growth and development of cadets, ultimately contributing to the sustainability of our workforce and the maritime industry as a whole.
Through this strategy, cadets have access to career pathways that allow them to gain practical experience, qualify for licenses, and progress to more senior positions. For instance, aspiring engineers can pursue the Engineering Watch License by completing the required sea service and exams. Similarly, cadets on the navigation path can work their way to Chief Officer roles through rigorous training and sea service.
By investing in the youth today, we are ensuring the sustainability of the maritime industry tomorrow. Through these initiatives, we strengthen our ties to local communities and build a pipeline of talent that will lead the maritime world into the future. Whether on the water or aboard our vessels, we are dedicated to providing the resources and opportunities that will allow the next generation to succeed.
