Developments at Warsash Maritime Academy

9 March 2011

 Southampton Solent University’s Warsash Maritime Academy and Faculty of Technology are joining together to form a new Maritime and Technology Faculty. A new single faculty strategic plan is expected to be complete by end-July 2011.

John Millican has been appointed Dean of the new faculty and will retain strategic responsibility for Warsash Maritime Academy.

Andrew Hair – who joined WMA nine years ago, after 19 years at sea as a Deck Officer with P&O Steam Navigation Co. and P&O/Princess Cruises – has been appointed Director of Warsash Maritime Academy. He assumes the day-to-day responsibility for running the Academy, reporting to John Millican.

The above developments are part of Southampton Solent University’s determination to remain at the forefront of maritime training and to respond to the changing needs of the global maritime industries.
Ends.
