A combination of hands-on experience and industry insight
A one-day Survey Familiarization Course took place a few days ago at OLP, Elefsis, and Skaramangas Shipyards, offering a unique opportunity for professionals from The Swedish Club and UK P&I Club to gain first-hand experience in a shipyard environment.
A total of 10 participants spent a full day “on the field” under the guidance of Nikos Drikos and Stelios Paterakis, visiting shipyard facilities and boarding vessels currently under repair. The course provided practical exposure to key technical aspects of claims handling, helping attendees develop a deeper understanding of ship structures, machinery, and repair processes.
We are particularly grateful to OLP Shipyard, Elefsis Shipyards, and Skaramangas Shipyards for accommodating the course and taking the time to guide the group through their facilities. Their support was once again essential in ensuring that such initiatives continue to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world application.
