The document summarizes the mission and activities of the floating college experience aboard the m.v. Al Mutanabbi ship from November 11 to December 21, 1999. Key details include the ship providing the first floating college for the Dubai Men's College of Hamdan Bin Mohammed University and transporting students across seven seas to teach them about maritime logistics and transportation. The experience exposed students to various aspects of operating a containership and visiting ports along the route.
A ShelterBox response team is on the way to Malaysia as the country is experiencing some of the worst flooding in decades.
Reports suggest that around 200,000 people have had to leave their homes due to the high flood waters, which have submerged whole towns in places.
Areas of north-eastern Malaysia are often affected by flooding during the monsoon season, but this year the rain has been especially heavy and is set to continue for at least another week.
The team, made up of Todd Finklestone (US) and Martin Strutton (UK), are due to arrive in Malaysia tomorrow (30 December) and will then start assessing what type of shelter is needed and how best ShelterBox can help.
While ShelterBox hasn’t worked in Malaysia before, teams have previously responded to flooding in neighbouring countries, such as Indonesia, which suffered from extreme flooding at the start of this year.
