Captain Bailey said: “It is an honor to be elected President of The Nautical Institute. As a long-time member, I have always appreciated the benefits of membership in terms of career development and the way the Institute has promoted safety and the fostering of young talent. I am looking forward to sharing my experience with Maritime’s future leaders so we can continue to develop our vibrant industry.”
John Lloyd FNI, CEO of The Nautical Institute, said: “On behalf of our members and the wider maritime community, I would like to thank Captain LeGoubin for his passion and commitment over the past two years.
