We are excited to use, for the first time, the fully-upgraded equipment in Classroom A at MITAGS West for an ARPA class with the 2024 @Washington State Ferries Maritime Apprenticeship Program (MAP) cohort. Coursework includes a practical navigation exercise in Puget Sound. Each student navigates their own ship and interacts with classmates. Students are responsible for the safe handling of their ship, awareness of other vessels, traffic lanes, currents, etc.

Emily Hopkins, Director, MITAGS West Coast Campus, attended the ISWG-STCW meeting at the @International Maritime Organization - IMO. MITAGS was part of the U.S. delegation that included representatives from other maritime academies, training centers, the @United States Coast Guard, and @Maritime Administration - MARAD.

MITAGS West hosted the Washington State Legislature Maritime Caucus for a Washington Maritime Trades tour. The day began and ended at the Eagle Harbor Ferry Maintenance Facility on Bainbridge Island. Partners included: The Inland Boatman’s Union (IBU) International Longshore & Warehouse Union (ILWU) Marine Engineers’ Beneficial Association (MEBA) The Masters, Mates, & Pilots (MM&P) Washington State Ferries (WSF) Pacific Maritime Association (PMA) The tour provided policymakers with a comprehensive view of the issues that face Washington’s maritime industrial sector. Insights were gained on the perspectives of the workers who operate different facets of an economic ecosystem that supports 174,300 total jobs, contributes $14.4 billion in wages, $45.9 billion in business revenue, and $382 million annually in Washington state taxes.
