JOHNSTON – FM Global is entering into a five-year strategic partnership with Massachusetts Maritime Academy to build on the commercial property insurer’s continuing education program for its boiler and machinery loss prevention engineers.
The partnership also includes a $100,000 donation from FM Global to support the academy’s advanced large-equipment laboratory – the FM Global Laboratory.

“This commitment reinforces the strong training partnership FM Global and Massachusetts Maritime Academy have developed during the past eight years; it will ensure that FM Global’s boiler and machinery engineers continue to receive the highest level of experiential training with large steam turbines, gas turbines, and auxiliary and support systems encountered at our clients’ facilities around the world,” Brion Callori, FM Global senior vice president of engineering and research, said in a statement. “This practical, hands-on training will enable our engineers to assess complex equipment hazards and develop cost-effective solutions that help our clients reduce property risk and keep their businesses resilient.”

The FM Global Laboratory, in the academy’s Bresnahan Hall, serves engineering and facilities management students, governmental agencies and industry groups. It is one of the most heavily used spaces on campus.
FM Global said it also plans to host client and industry events at the academy, focusing on equipment loss prevention and risk management.
