The enthusiastic young students toured the Svitzer Venture and learnt about tug operations and safety from our dedicated crew before being issued "sea service certificates" to commemorate their visit.

Thank you to our PNG team and particularly, the Svitzer Venture crew and Master Denys, for supporting this meaningful (and adorable!) opportunity.

Thank you Buk Bilong Pikinini for the incredible work you do – and for introducing us to the next generation of maritime crew in PNG! 🙏⚓
