The "NEWSIM ARK" was Christened 08 December 2011. The ARK was a promise made in 08 December 2010 and delivered 08 December 2011. Part of the promise was, "in NEWSIM, training becomes instant vacation".

The Christening message of Capt. BURT Sabay:

THE NEW GENERATION OF SEAFARERS ARE DEDICATED, HARD WORKING, WELL TRAINED AND COMPETENT. IN BEHALF OF HER NINONG AND NINANG I HEREBY NAME THIS SHIP "NEWSIM ARK" - THE ARK OF THE NEW GENERATION.

MAY SHE BRING MORE BLESSINGS AND FORTUNE TO THOSE WHO EVER SET FOOT ON THIS ARK MOST SPECIALLY TO THEM WHO BUILT HER TO SERVE THE MARITIME INDUSTRY WITH DIGNITY AND INTEGRITY. 

MAY SHE BLESS ALL SEAFARERS WHO TRAIN HERE WITH THE COURAGE TO BE RIGHTEOUS AND ASSERTIVE AND ALWAYS GUIDE THEM INTO SAFE VOYAGES ACROSS THE SEVEN SEAS".
