This was the 3rd edition of this STCW course and the second course National Marine sponsored. It has always been our aim at National Marine to support owners, captains and their crew to maximize the owners’ enjoyment of their considerable investment. Our commitment to the industry goes far beyond supplying parts and services to our customers. We are fully committed to do our part to ensure our industry grows not only in size but in professionalism on all levels and also awareness of our oceans.The Polar Code (PC) as adopted by the IMO recognizes the special requirements to protect the fragile eco-systems of our polar oceans. The course essentially revolves around MAROL and SOLAS, with both codes taken to new levels.Safe Arctic Technologies Inc (SATI) and SuperyachtGLOBAL (SYG) held the first Polar Code Course in April 2017 just a few months after the code came into force. As of January 1, 2018, all vessels and July 1, 2018, all officers in charge of a navigational watch need to be PC compliant and certified. Thomas Andersson of SATI states: “We are happy to see the interest of the yachting industry in our services steadily growing. However, considering the amount of yachts advertising charters in polar waters, we feel that there is not enough awareness for one of the PC and also the special requirements of operating in polar waters. The instructors at SATI are looking back at over 30 years experience in polar waters. Our instructors are Master Mariners or Chief Engineers respectively actively working on icebreaking tugs and supply ships. Our commitment is to deliver their vast hands-on experience directly to the participants and we are looking forward to running these courses together with National Marine and SYG biannually.” (...continued on next page) POLAR ICE CODE THE EVENTSCONTINUED..."One of the really exciting developments is that we are building up an exclusive network of Captains,” says Christoph Schaefer of SYG. “Having spent the majority of my career as yacht captain spanning 30 years cruising outside of the navigable semi-circle of western yachting I have always wondered why so few yachts actively cruise worldwide. It is a really encouraging to finally meet with like-minded captains, who understand the concept of SYG: to provide very special experiences to the owners. At SYG we offer top-notch services to captains, not just in the Med and other yachting centers but in some of the remotest regions of the world.”At National Marine, we firmly believe that in order to protect our oceans we need a much deeper understanding of them. Only 7% of our oceans are explored. What better way of creating awareness of our polar regions than encouraging yacht owners to visit the polar bears and penguins. WORLD OCEAN'S DAY CLEANUPOn Friday, June 8th in honor of World’s Ocean Day National Marine Suppliers gathered a small group together for beach clean-up at Dr. Von D. Mizell-Eula Johnson State Park (Ex John U. Lloyd). We managed to collect over 20 bags of trash. In tandem with “Guys Trust”, trash was also collected on beaches in Japan, Cyprus, Indonesia, Somalia, Komodo, Ireland, Sweden, Santa Cruz, Tasmania, UAE, Bali, England, and Chile. The majority of the trash consisted of straws, films, plastic bags, fishing line, bottle caps, bottles and other misc. plastics. Something to think of when discarding trash. Recycle when you can, pocket your fishing line and limit usage of plastic bags. Our largest haul of trash winner won a FREE Flyboard Experience courtesy of Atlantic Flyboard, and our very own PJ Kennedy was our lucky winner! Special thanks go out to Atlantic Flyboard, the offices of Feadship USA, Savage Dive Co., and those of our own crew for volunteering their time, NMS for providing supplies and water for our volunteers, and Florida State Parks for the free entrance and disposal of the collection. 04 www.nationalmarine.comUPCOMING EVENTSSAVE THE DATESYACHT BIKERS POKER RUNOur Annual Yacht Bikers Poker Run will be in honor of a new cause this year for Task Force Dagger Foundation.

SERVICESSHIP STORECOSTA UNTANGLED COLLECTION IS ECO-FRIENDLY RECYCLING FISHING NETS INTO SUNGLASSES Every year, an estimated 640,000 tons of discarded fishing nets and gear pollute our oceans. No form of ocean plastic pollution is more dangerous than discarded fishing nets. We’re joining forces with Bureo who work with fishermen to prevent discarded nets from polluting our oceans and harming marine life. Discarded fishing nets are collected from commercial fishing ports in Chile. Bureo recycles the nets down into a raw material in the form of pellets. The pellets are molded into The Untangled Collection sunglass frames. The Untangled Collection features new sunglasses with frames made from recycled fishing nets. Your purchase is a step towards untangling our oceans.Named for the cold water current that ushers discarded fishing nets across marine ecosystems, Baffin’s tumbled manufacturing process enhances the powerful features of this classic frame. Born on the water and named after a Central Chilean seaport, Caldera is a medium fit frame with soft, elegant curves and uniquely textured temples. Returning to the waters where they were born, the square design of the Pescador’s larger sized frame will bring out the fisherman in you. Worn with or without removable side shields. Simple and delicate with rough outer edges, the Victoria frame is constructed from recycled fishing nets like those that ply in our world’s oceans. Help us turn the tide on discarded nets by telling your friends about the cause.
