CERTIFICATES FOR FISHERMEN
Seven young fishermen will be presented with navigation certificates
tomorrow (Friday) on completion of a six-month training course conducted by
the Agriculture and Fisheries Department.
They are Mr. Li Kwok-ming, Mr. Choi Chung-wo, Nr. Lo Siu ki,
Mr. Lan Chun-wai, Mr. Cheung Tung-kwai, Mr. Chan Chi-keung and Mr. Lan Wai-kit.
The training course aims at providing a working knowledge of chartwork,
seamanship, signalling and navigation by "dead reckoning". The department
hopes that this will encourage the fishermen to search for new and richer
fishing grounds.
During their course, the seven trainees were taken on two one-week
cruises on "Cape St. Mary", the department's research vessel.
Mr. J. Thompson, Assistant Director (Fisheries) will be presenting
the certificates at 2.30 p.m.
Note to Editors:
You are invited to send a reporter and/or photographer to cover the presentation
ceremony and to attend the tea party afterwards. It will be held in the navigational classroom on the second floor of the Fish Marketing Organisation's Secondary Practical and Primary
School at 2, Tin Wan Hill Road, Aberdeen.
