It’s back to school time and a few more CMA funded interns are headed back to school after completing their summer internships: Paul Ferragu, a student at Webb Institute, was hosted by Peregrine Tankers, Sophia Chelstowski, a student at Bentley was hosted by Clear Ocean Partners and Juliana Pagano a student at Bucknell University was hosted by Moran Towing. Thank you to the host companies for providing these students with meaningful learning experiences and for introducing two of these students to the maritime industry.
Mass Maritime Co-op students are looking for winter placements. They are available from January 5 through February 27, 2026. If you can help by hosting a student, please reach out to the coordinators below to submit a Co-op request. Our future is brighter by providing real world experiences to students.
