STEPHEN AND LOULLA BOND RETURN TO THE MARITIME INDUSTRY WITH MARINE MEDIA ENTERPRISES AND A RENEWED MISSION TO GIVE BACK

Maritime training pioneer Stephen Bond, the original founder of Videotel, has returned to the global shipping industry. Videotel, which became one of the most well-known and respected names in maritime training, was acquired by KVH following years of success.

Now, Stephen Bond is back, this time with his wife and longtime business partner Loulla Mourouris Bond, to officially bring Marine Media Enterprises and its Donate and Train scheme to market, combining industry knowledge with a new purpose.

The company has already been active through a soft launch, but now steps more fully into the spotlight with its Donate and Train initiative. This innovative scheme enables companies to provide their seafarers with access to high-quality video material, produced with the involvement of industry experts, that have a focus on social topics in addition to traditional safety training.

The novel structure of this scheme also assists subscribing companies to meet their ESG objectives. In addition to the social benefit of informing and educating their seafarers, the scheme has a charitable element.
