Proud to have spent time with the incredible team at the National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) in Durban on 2 May, supporting their ongoing training with a dedicated COLREGS session.
The NSRI continues to do extraordinary work across South Africa through rescue operations, drowning prevention, and water safety education - with volunteers ready to respond 24/7 to those in need.
For Shiptalk, this was a small opportunity to give back to a maritime community we care deeply about and support a cause that genuinely saves lives.
A huge thank you to the NSRI team for the passion, professionalism, and commitment you bring to the water every day. π
