ICS students gear up for exams

It’s become a regular fixture
on the shipping calendar
for Institute of Shipbrokers
students – the annual preexamination
weekend held in the
Drakensberg.
This year 32 students and nine
ICS tutors wrapped up their
exam preparation with a varied
programme that ranged from
presentations on the Rotterdam
Rules, the current economic
climate and port developments
on the South and East African
seaboard to piracy and the effects
of global warming on the North
Pole. A mock exam provided the
usual wake-up call to students.
This year 110 South African
students will sit the exams in
various centres in SA, while
students registered with the
SA Distance Learning Centre
will sit the exams in Mauritius,
Singapore, Chile, Dar-es-Salaam
and Nairobi.
