Grand Bahama Shipyard's Finance and Human Resources Department are currently attending a four day Sage Summit 2015 conference in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Acting President and COO Reuben Byrd noted that “the shipyard is committed to its training agenda for employees and is proud to have our staff in New Orleans this week training on updated software being used in their departments.”

Byrd went on to note that there is also a volunteer team of employees, who are a part of our emergency response team, are at Resolve Maritime Academy in Florida receiving recertification in emergency response methods. The course is titled 'Shipboard Fire Fighting'.

"We spend significant resources in training our staff,” he noted. “We take very seriously the important role our staff play in the operations of the Shipyard."
