Promotion of the new book by the captain of a long voyage Branislav Kordić "From cadet to ship commander" will be held in the amphitheater of the Maritime Faculty in Kotor, today at 11 am.
The author will talk about the book. Nikola Malović, on behalf of the publisher - Bookstore "So" from Herceg Novi, prof. dr. Spiro Ivošević, book reviewer, long-distance captain Mario Pilastro, as well as the author himself.
Koridić's book is a unique testimony about life at sea from the pen of a captain who left behind a full 50 years of navigation.
"Half a century of naval service has come together in a mosaic of expert insights, vivid memories and warm human stories. Captain Kordić convincingly tells about his seafaring life, explaining in detail the principles of navigation, ship stability, safety procedures, and at the same time takes us through the little-known everyday life of a commander: from cargo distribution and ship maintenance to tours of the galley and conversations and socializing with crews from all over the world. With stories about navigation and storms, vessels and companies, stowaways and crews in trouble, we discover that a true commander must be as good with the sea and ship as he is with people. His family was his landmark, like a north star, and his wife Vesna was his guide. He sailed with his thoughts on the ship and his heart in Risan," stated the publisher, Nikola Malović.
The book “From Cadet to Ship Captain” is also a tribute to the seafaring of the Boka region: to compatriots who left their mark on the world's navies and captains whose names shaped generations of sailors. This work goes beyond autobiography, it is a valuable read for students of maritime academies, cadets and fellow captains, but also for all sailors and their families: those who sail, those who wait for loved ones to sail, as well as those who dream about the sea and sailing.
