Purpose of the training

Sea Survival - Survival at Sea 

The primary objective of the training course is to familiarise the trainees with a wide range of topics necessary for working in an offshore wind farm environment. The course is designed to develop correct habits for dealing with both routine and emergency situations in the context of offshore wind energy. The training, based on theory and practice, provides a comprehensive preparation for survival in the open sea (GWO SS).
