Nautical

Project/Initiative

BS27 hosted a group of NSCC Nautical students to showcase the nautical and ship industry in the port of Hamburg, Germany. Activities included tours of container terminals, a variety of sea vessels and exploring the local coastline. Students will also have the opportunity to shadow the BS27 students in class and take workshops on ropework and barge training. This was a two way exchange where BS27 students and faculty came to NSCC, we have received so far 3 cohorts from Germany since 2024.
