Ethiopia s maritime ambitions are not limited to ESL. A school for sailors has been set up at auniversity in the lakeside town of Bahir Dar. It has ambitions to train 5,000 ship s engineersand other officers for the world s fleets within the next decade-providing low-costcompetition for Sri Lankan and Filipino sailors. The government reckons these sailors couldsend home $250m a year in salaries. They would also return, as Mr Abraha has, withvaluable skills and a hankering for the briny unusual in a landlocked country.
埃塞俄比亚的海事雄心并不只局限于ESL公司。在巴希尔达镇的湖边,一所大学设立了培养水手的学院。它立志于在未来十年为全世界的船只培养5000艘船只的工程师及其他方面的海事官员 与斯里兰卡和菲律宾的水手形成低成本的竞争。改过政府预计这些水手将每年从薪水中抽2500万美金寄回家。他们将来也会回归,正如阿布拉哈一样,带着宝贵的技术,以及异于陆路国家的对于大海的追求。
