“The main motive for the foundation of GMC Maritime Training Center is our great love for shipping and especially for maritime training” says Mr. Ioannis Yiannopoulos, Founder and Director of GMC Maritime Training Center, speaking at maritimes TV.
In this success and widespread recognition of the training center, the cooperation with Furuno Hellas played a catalytic role.
For his part, Mr. Yiannis Papaefthymiou, Director of Furuno Hellas, notes that he feels vindicated by this cooperation and he points out that GMC is one of the few centers in the world that works with simulators, in combination with the real engines on board.
In its five years of operation, GMC has signed more than 7.000 certificates, and it cooperates with 114 shipping companies.
This interview was given at GMC’s offices on Thursday 25 February 2016, on the occasion of the completion of 5 years since the establishment of GMC Maritime Training Center.
