The objective of the workshop is to provide the information and instruction needed to operate a ship in a fuel-saving, energy-efficient and environmental-friendly way. Lectures and instruction are supported by training sessions in a full-mission simulator with additional eco-module for measuring fuel consumption and emissions to air.
