Does anyone know of any shipping companies that contribute to MITAGS? I was reading up on the MITAGS website and they said one could go for training tuition free for some classes if they are employed by a company that contributes to their program.

I’m think that is in reference to MMP contracted ships and you being a member of MMP.
