Training a priority for Sea Harvest
By Staff Writer
Standing on the bridge of a vessel more than ten years ago, Vivian Lackay dreamed of becoming a skipper. The member of Sea Harvest’s sea-going crew, who grew up in Robertson in the Western Cape, joined the company in 2004. Lackay has worked and studied his way up the ranks, becoming a leading deck hand and then first mate before qualifying as a skipper in January this year. ‘The biggest task of a skipper is accepting responsibility for important decisions that need to be made on a vessel, decisions that often impact the entire crew. Sea Harvest has provided me training and development opportunities that have made it possible for me to advance my career,’ says Lackay.
