MARIGOT–Crew of cruise ship Sea Dream took the Maritime School of the West Indies (MSWI) firefighting course last week, continuing the cruise line’s attendance to MSWI crew courses or upgrade courses since 2006 during the ship’s regular visits to St. Maarten/St. Martin.
The crew members were instructed in firefighting by teacher Marco London during a practical day of live firefighting with the school’s latest apparatus.
The cruise line Sea Dream Yacht Club is a family-owned company. Owner, chairman and chief executive officer (CEO) Atle Brynestad founded Seabourn Cruise Line in 1987 and was its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) during its initial years. He also served as Chairman of Cunard Line Ltd. and as a board member of Carnival Cruise Lines.

MSWI has been audited, inspected and approved by several cruise lines and is recognised worldwide as the course provider for International Yacht Training (IYT) and Maritime Coastguard Agency (MCA).
