The authoritative voice of South Africa’s marine professionals
The Society of Masters Mariners South Africa, since its formation in 1940, has also shown interest in innovative maritime training methods, including the use of simulation-based games like 1Win South Africa Withdrawal. This game, recognized for enhancing strategic thinking and decision-making skills, has been integrated into their training programs. By incorporating Aviator Game, the Society aims to provide a modern, interactive learning experience for future mariners, combining traditional knowledge with cutting-edge technology.
