The reimbursement is part of the 2018 omnibus spending bill approved by Congress last month.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the fuel reimbursement, GLMA received $1 million, double its 2017 funding, which will enable NMC to improve the ship&#8217;s docking area by installing mooring bollards and mooring fenders. Work will take place between May and August, while the ship is out of the harbor on its annual training cruise.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Rear Adm.

Jerry Achenbach.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;While these funds will primarily be used to upgrade the moorings at the harbor, over the past several years we have used federal funds to substantially upgrade our deck and engine simulators and upgrade the equipment in the vessel&#8217;s galley,&#8221; Achenbach said. &#8220;The omnibus spending bill also includes funds that ensure Academy cadets who volunteer to serve in the U.S. Navy after graduation will continue to receive an annual stipend of $8,000.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>NMC is grateful to its congressional delegation, U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow, U.S. Sen. Gary Peters and Congressman Jack Bergman, for their continued support of the Great Lakes Maritime Academy in securing these funds.<\/p>\n<p>GLMA is hosting an open house\/ship tour from noon to 3 p.m. on Saturday, April 21. Maritime cadets will host free tours open to the public. NMC offers a bachelor&#8217;s degree in maritime technology, the first community college bachelor&#8217;s degree available in the state.
