In his financial consulting work, Mark Barra has significant experience partnering with a variety of ferry companies, and is a frequent speaker at Interferry conferences.
A Global Trade Association representing the ferry industry, Interferry recently announced an upcoming partnership with Mercy Ships. Mercy Ships is an organization that uses hospital ships to bring health care services, sustainability, and development to countries and areas with little access to health care in the developing world. Originally founded in 1978 by Don and Deyon Stephens, Mercy Ships has reached more than 70 countries around the world, providing services with a value of more than $1.53 billion dollars.
By partnering with Interferry, Mercy Ships will gain important exposure with members of the ferry industry around the world. Interferry will highlight the work Mercy Ships does at its upcoming annual conference in October, increasing the organization’s visibility and promoting the need for maritime volunteers on board the Africa Mercy.
