5 April 2024, Chief Engineer Kishore Gambhir, Adopt A Ship Coordinator Mr. Smit Kumar, and IMO Goodwill Maritime Ambassador George Hoyt, FNI, celebrated India Maritime Day with the introduction of Adopt A Ship to six hundred children and the amazing staff of the CLM public school in Noida. We gave them world maps and showed them the excellent film made by the Maritime Awareness Program Society “MAPS”, and “IMEC”. Click here to watch the film.

That created very enjoyable discussions with the beautiful children as they embarked on their virtual journey following ships around the world. They expressed great enthusiasm and had many interesting questions about the maritime industry. We agreed with managing director Jogender Singh and Principal Reena Gupta to launch Adopt A Ship programs for their Elementary, Junior high school, and Senior High School students when the new school year begins in June 2024.
