BBS celebrates 40 years of training ship mechanics

BREMERHAVEN. With an event on board the “Deutschland” training ship, Berufsbildungsstelle Seeschifffahrt (BBS) celebrated the 40th anniversary of its ship mechanic training programme in November. During his welcome speech, Kai Stührenberg, Bremen’s State Councillor for Ports, referred to the dual vocational training course as a successful model, after which Dr Martin Kröger, CEO of the German Shipowners’ Association, told the ship mechanics, “Your abilities and expertise are the anchor that secures our maritime tradition – and the sail that ensures our promising future.”
