Bermuda Container Line Ltd this week presented a cheque to Warwick Academy to help pay for students to take part in youth-at-sea-learning experiences through the Bermuda Sloop Foundation.

The donation is hoped to help a raft of students at the school over the next five years.

Warwick Academy director of development Jane Vickers said: “Without the support of BCL our students would not have been part of the practical learning experience that is uniquely offered by the Sloop programme. For this we are very appreciative.”

A spokesman for the Bermuda Container Line said the donation demonstrates the company’s commitment to supporting organisations and entities which encourage careers in the maritime industry.
