If <strong>you</strong> wish to send money to <strong>you</strong>r cadet during Sea Term <strong>you</strong> may send a check directly to <strong>the</strong> Business<br />

Office or pay online. Please plan accordingly as funds must be transferred a minimum of<br />

3 days prior to <strong>the</strong> arrival at port. To pay online, go to our website (www.maritime.edu), click on <strong>the</strong><br />

Quick Links window on <strong>the</strong> left side of <strong>the</strong> screen and click on Business Office. On <strong>the</strong> right side of <strong>the</strong><br />

Business Office screen <strong>you</strong> will find BizOffice Links, where <strong>you</strong> may click on <strong>the</strong> appropriate link –<br />

“Pay by Credit Card” (a 2.65% convenience fee applies) or “Pay by Check” – provide <strong>the</strong> required<br />

student information, and enter <strong>the</strong> amount in <strong>the</strong> “Sea-Term Bank” box. Your cadet will be notified <strong>that</strong><br />

I have enclosed <strong>the</strong> mailing addresses for our various ports of c<strong>all</strong>. Do not send packages or anything of<br />

real value through <strong>the</strong> mail. For security reasons, <strong>the</strong> ship will not accept any packages. Please note<br />

<strong>the</strong> lead-time required for mail. There are a few extra steps in handling mail for arriving ships and<br />

<strong>all</strong>owing <strong>the</strong> extra time is important. If <strong>you</strong>r <strong>letter</strong> should miss <strong>the</strong> ship, our port agent will collect such<br />

mail and return it to MMA ra<strong>the</strong>r than forward it to <strong>the</strong> next port and have it traveling around <strong>the</strong><br />

Caribbean for a few weeks. We will deliver <strong>all</strong> “missed mail” to <strong>the</strong> cadets at <strong>the</strong> start of <strong>the</strong> spring<br />

semester.<br />

The ship will return from <strong>the</strong> 2011 voyage and dock in Buzzards Bay on Sunday, 20 February 2011 at<br />

approximately 10:42 a.m. I <strong>hope</strong> to see <strong>you</strong> <strong>all</strong> on <strong>the</strong> dock as we welcome home our seasoned travelers.<br />

Warm regards,<br />

President<br />
