Maritime Training Centers in Europe – Part 3: Germany and the Netherlands

In this material, we will focus on where to obtain or renew maritime certificates in Germany and the Netherlands, and we will also look at which training centers for seafarers prepare specialists to work on smart ships and with artificial intelligence technologies.


TOP European Marine Training Centres. Where to go When Certificates Expire?

Every five years the command staff is required to change certificates and update the package of documents for further work. Ratings need to improve their qualifications to move up the career ladder. But what to do if you now live in Europe and there is no opportunity to undergo training in a Ukrainian TC?

Norway Plans Shipping Tunnel

Norway is planning to build the world's first full-size shipping tunnel. Six international contractors are battling for the contract.
The 1.7-kilometer Stad Shipping Tunnel, which runs through the Stad Peninsula, will provide ships with a safe route through the treacherous Stadhavet Sea known for its dangerous currents and rough weather.
 
The shipping tunnel will connect Moldefjord and Kjodepollen in Vanylvsfjord passing through the narrowest part of the peninsula. It will be 50 meters high and 36 meters wide.
 
The main goal of the project is to improve safety at sea as the Stadhavet Sea is one of the most dangerous in Norway.
 
Over the past 80 years 33 people have died in maritime accidents in this area. Unpredictable currents, strong winds and frequent storms make navigation difficult.
 
One of the most difficult engineering challenges will be building the tunnel openings which will be as tall as the tunnel itself – seven times higher than a standard road tunnel. If all goes according to plan, the contract will be awarded in the fall of 2025 with construction starting in early 2026.
 
After the completion of construction the Stad Tunnel will be a historic breakthrough in marine engineering, providing safer and more efficient navigation for ships sailing along the Norwegian coast.
