A NOMANSHEATH cadet won third prize in a national shipping safety competition.
Simon Curtis aged 25, who is enrolled on the graduate engineer programme at Warsash Maritime Academy won £500 at 2010 British Shipping Safety Awareness Awards. The awards recognise cadets who have suggested the best idea to improve health and safety at sea. The winning suggestions include a rail-lock to improve safety when entering the holds of tankers, a medical emergency panic button for use in engine rooms and a new fire fighting nozzle. Simon has suggested a special fire-fighting nozzle that could deliver both high expansion foam and water mist.
