John Mackenzie, co-founder and principal, said that he spotted a gap in the market for a marine training academy along the River Clyde, run by Merchant and Royal Navy professionals.

He explained that the aim of the centre is to the provide the training that students and marine professionals need. What is more, the company wants to offer another way to explore Glasgow for tourists to the city, as well as locals who want to see the city.

In order for the centre to ensure that if offers quality services, it offers on-demand training and sightseeing tours for Glasgow and surrounding area.
