Practical cases will be used to reinforce the newly acquired knowledge. On day 2, attendees will delve into power distribution, the importance of a safe work environment, and the logistics involved in the installation and maintenance of a wind farm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The two-day course is designed to cater to different professionals in the industry. Day 1 is suitable for those new to the industry, including financial experts, marine contractors, and government stakeholders. Day 2 is focused on port logistics and is ideal for marine service providers, port authorities, and logistic service providers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This program is initiated by the <strong>Knowledge Management &amp; Training Centre (KMTC) <\/strong>which is to be located in the near future in the new <strong>Europort Business Park (EBP)<\/strong> in Rosslare, and in collaboration with <strong>DOB-Academy<\/strong> and <strong>SETU (South East Technological University)<\/strong>.
