- To provide a neutral platform for continuous cross-border engagement between groups of children and young people from ROI and NI.
- To promote awareness of skills development for careers in the maritime sector
- To fulfil an ambassadorial role for trade, investment, tourism and culture for the island of Ireland, and help engage with our diaspora.
