Smit Marine SA sponsors state-of-the-art
audiovisual equipment for new theme classroom

Ms Clare du Plooy, Public Relations Officer of Smit Marine SA in Cape Town, (formerly Smit Pentow Marine) hands the Company's sponsorship cheque to Professor John Hare, Head of the Shipping Law Unit at UCT.

The international salvage company Smit Marine SA (formerly Smit Pentow Marine) has lent generous support to an exciting new venture to create a theme classroom for Shipping, Marine and Environmental Law at UCT.

The classroom is in the Law Faculty's new home on middle campus. It is equipped with the very best audiovisual equipment to enable the use of computer-generated slides, instructional videos and internet links. The room will be used for LLM seminar teaching and for presentations of interest to the shipping industry.

Smit Pentow Marine helped the Unit since its inception in 1992. The Shipping Law Unit is most grateful to the Company for its continued support. Smit Pentow's parent company in The Netherlands is closely involved with tertiary education. We are delighted that Smit Marine South Africa remains so willing to invest in higher education in our country and we look forward to a long association with them. We have exciting plans for the new Marine, Shipping & Environmental Law classroom ..... which will in due course have an appropriate name!
