WHAT ARE THE OBJECTIVES?
The Young Ship Tanzania wishes to reach out to people who know little or nothing about the
industry. It is largely a low-profile industry with little known about it by the world at large both
in terms of historic and contemporary knowledge, and also in terms of the vast and useful service
it provides to every one of us.
However, when the industry does get coverage in the press, this tends to be in the wake of an
accident or disaster, and is therefore for the wrong reasons.
Problems and disasters create a negative impression. This lack of knowledge is perceived to
create problems for the industry, making it difficult for it to take control of its destiny, to promote
maritime heritage and to attract the dynamic young talent that it needs.
OUR VISION IS EDUCATION.
Education of the public and education within maritime circles to take the industry forward
technologically and to protect and identify maritime heritage.
