The Fritha can also meet you in places outside of her home waters as well.

With a licensed captain and professional crew, your sailing adventure aboard the brigantine Fritha will create memories that last a lifetime. Fritha can accommodate up to six passengers and is ready to take you and family and friends on an exciting, educational sailing adventure.

Learn navigation, knot tying (marlinspike seamanship) and the art of square rigged sailing. The crew encourages guests to help haul the sails during their time aboard.

Fritha is owned and operated by Northeast Maritime Institute, one of the premier private maritime educational institutions in the country.

Bermuda M.A.T.E. Program

angela — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 14:42:39 +0000

NMI’s sponsorship of a unique 12 week international program began in April, in Bermuda. NMI staff, local community members and several families from Bermuda, along with Bermuda officials, attended this milestone event in these young adults’ lives.

Known as M.A.T.E, Maritime Apprentice Training and Employment program, eleven young adults from Bermuda were engaged in a maritime education program that centered on maritime training along with traditional life skills that sought to enable them to seek entry level maritime employment in addition to the possibility of higher maritime educational opportunities. The students attended the following NMI courses: Basic Safety Training, Able Seaman, Proficiency in Survival Craft, Operator of Un-inspected Passenger Vessels, Master 100 ton upgrade, Radar Observer and Bridge Resource Management. Several students have already been placed in maritime schools in locations such as Southampton England and locally here in New England. Several students returned directly to Bermuda at the end of the program while others transitioned to Bermuda’s tall ship Spirit of Bermuda for additional training and sea time. After some well deserved time off, students will be making applications for employment in Bermuda and around the globe. NMI will continue to support their interest in a maritime career though maritime career counseling.

Reflecting on the program, Eric Dawicki, President of NMI, said he “is extremely proud of the hard work, patience, and community service the students devoted to the Fairhaven community and to their own personal growth” and that “the traditions of the sea, maritime life and education, bring together human dynamics and interaction that uniquely qualifies these young adults to bring honor and leadership to Bermuda and her people.” He noted that “there will be additional M.A.T.E, Maritime Apprentice Training and Employment programs scheduled for next year.

NMI Announces Innovative Locomotive Monitoring System

john — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 17:53:47 +0000

FAIRHAVEN, MA (PRWEB) September 19, 2008 — Northeast Maritime Institute (NMI) announced today that it has developed an innovative locomotive monitoring system that will help prevent locomotive, highway and maritime accidents nationwide.

According to Eric Dawicki , CEO of Northeast Maritime Institute (LI), “The recent accident in Los Angeles could have been avoided if our system had been in use.”
The system uses video cameras placed on the interior and exterior of a train cab and the images are then transmitted as live video feed to off-site locations. This allows viewing of the activities in the cab area of the locomotive. Key information of speed and other factors that the engineer should be observing can be remotely monitored. An alarm signals when locomotive are about to collide. All of this is done in real time using cellular or satellite technology. Train access is restricted to authorized individuals only. Video feed can be monitored anywhere there is access to the internet and security protocols are met.

“The technology we have developed to monitor the interior and exterior of train cabs using video feed in real time is groundbreaking. The recent accident in Los Angeles could have been avoided if our system had been in use. Using our system, the engine cab compartment area could have been monitored by an experienced team of engineers from a remote location. Through the creation of a team, coupled with a collision alarm we have integrated into the system, the deaths in California would have been avoided,” said Dawicki. “The technology works. By putting technology in the hands of experienced and well trained people, even the most adverse situations can have positive results.”

Sid Martin, Director of Technology (LI), commented that “the system can be deployed quickly without disrupting normal rail operations.” The system, installed by NMI as a prototype in the field, has proven to be an excellent proactive defense. A patent is pending.

While safety is often overlooked in budget discussions, Northeast Maritime Institute thinks its system will be an easy sell to companies. “The product and its safety features speak volumes,” noted Martin.

The system, when combined with NMI’s Golden Shellback™ weatherproof coating system (patent pending), enables rail equipment to operate in even the most adverse conditions. NMI’s breakthrough technologies, individually or combined, are geared to change the way trains operate for the first time in over one hundred years.

For further information, visit NMI’s web site at: Northeast Maritime Institute or contact Sidney Martin. Media should contact John Konrad (LI) at 805-456-8644.
