BunkerExperience 2024

30 September - 03 October

Delta Hotel, Vlaardingen, Netherlands

The three-day, all-inclusive BunkerExperience course presents an unbeatable combination of theory and real-life bunkering experience.

The morning classroom sessions are geared towards preparing students to make the most of the afternoon ‘real life’ experience of working on a bunker barge, working in a testing laboratory and ‘going to sea’ for close-up views of different types of ships.
