HANDS ON TRAINING

A Trainee Operator's week at sea

“Just a few months after starting in my new position in KGJS, I embarked on a week-long journey onboard the SKS Douro, sailing from Gibraltar to Eleusis. Freshly graduated from university and now a trainee within the SKS operations department, I valued the chance to board one of our vessels and gain practical insights and hands-on experience. The journey significantly deepened my comprehension of the day-to-day operations of a tanker vessel.

From experiencing the social life onboard to understanding the planning required for efficient cargo handling, every aspect of the journey is a source of valuable learning. Moreover, witnessing the dedication and commitment of the entire team onboard the vessel inspired me to support them in the best possible way from my onshore position in operations.

After a remarkable week at sea onboard SKS Douro, I am grateful for the knowledge and experiences that the esteemed crew on board shared with me. I look forward to applying this newfound knowledge and to collaborate with all the professionals working onboard our vessels.”
