Survitec endorsement will benefit educators and pupils
Educators and young explorers are set to go deeper into the fascinating oceans around us after one of the world’s top Safety Survival Technology companies joined forces with the Titanic Belfast today.
The unique partnership will see the internationally renowned and Belfast-based company support and endorse a specialist education programme and workshop designed to encourage innovation and highlight marine knowledge of marine safety to young people.
The Survitec Group has a strong heritage of innovative contributions to the maritime safety industry.
As safety survival subject matter experts with more than 160 years’ expertise in the design and manufacture of life saving equipment, the Group’s influence can be traced back to the early 19th century with the introduction of the first ever life-raft in 1932, the first life preserver in 1940 and the first mass evacuation system in 1979.
Survitec remains the design authority on a number of products used in the modern maritime industry. With nine manufacturing sites across four continents and products in use in over 96 countries, Survitec can supply a solution for virtually any seafaring vessel, anywhere in the world today.
Titanic Belfast, the world’s largest Titanic visitor experience, is located in Titanic Quarter and overlooks the famous ship’s Slipway.
Titanic Belfast’s education programme provides tailored workshops for pupils, as well as tours of its nine-interactive galleries which tell the Titanic story and Belfast’s rich maritime history.
Moya Johnston, Managing Director of Servitec Group Ltd, said: “Survitec is a company well-informed about the value of bringing marine safety awareness and knowledge to the education sector. This partnership with Titanic Belfast further emphasises our long-term commitment to supporting and assisting educators in theory and in practice of marine safety and survival measures. Becoming a partner in Titanic Belfast’s wonderful education programme is an exciting development for Survitec.”
Titanic Belfast CEO Tim Husbands MBE, said: “Linking up with Survitec represents another step forward for Titanic Belfast’s education programme and offering to educators and students.
“More than 100 years after Titanic’s build in Belfast, and her tragedy, the legacy is very much alive in how we tell the story at Titanic Belfast, and how we reflect on lessons learned and how we benefit from them today.
“Survitec, a world leader in marine technology and safety, will provide an important context to our education workshops.
