Training academy sponsored

Wilhelmsen Ships Service is supporting the work of the Nautical Technical Training Academy (NTTA) in Groningen, Northern Holland, by providing a range of the company’s Unitor branded safety equipment including a brand new liferaft. The liferaft will be used in the academy’s crew training facility to teach the Basic Safety course.

The NTTA trains ships’ crew in the use of safety appliances, to benefit them in their future careers. The new liferaft is a welcome replacement for a tired second hand liferaft which has been extensively used for training over the last couple of years.

The NTTA represents Wilhelmsen Ships Service in the northern part of Holland by offering training facilities at their location. The two organisations work closely together when organising symposiums, such as the EU prohibition of the use of virgin HCFC (R-22)  refrigerants in 2010, and how to make a conversion to R-417A. This year the Academy will hold a symposium about homogenisers and bunker oils at their Groningen location. The support of Wilhelmsen Ships Service enables these symposiums to be offered to participants free of charge.
