LAB DAY | BARGE DAY

15-16 October 2024

The hugely popular BUNKEREXPERIENCE course is coming to Athens. Based on the classroom and practical elements of the well-established three-day BUNKEREXPERIENCE course held every spring and autumn in Vlaardingen, Rotterdam, this two-day version retains the unbeatable combination of theory and real-life bunkering experience with hands-on laboratory work and barge visit, while tailoring the training to reflect the bunkering sector in Greece and the Eastern Mediterranean.

The morning classroom sessions are geared towards preparing students to make the most of the afternoon 'real life' experience of working in a testing laboratory and on a bunker barge.

Focusing on:

• fuel characteristics
• bunker quality
• mass flow meters
• testing lab procedures
• onboard fuel handling
• barge operations and sampling

BUNKEREXPERIENCE GREECE is guaranteed to provide a rock solid intellectual and practical introduction into the most important hands-on elements of the bunker business.

Due to the practical nature of this course, space is strictly limited so early registration is strongly recommended.

Venue: Bureau Veritas Hellas Laboratory

This two-day programme includes :

• course materials, course photographs and certificate

The classroom elements of the course take place inside the Bureau Veritas laboratory. The bunker barge visit takes place in Piraeus. Transport will be provided as necessary.

The course does not include accommodation but nearby hotels can be recommended should students require them.

BUNKEREXPERIENCE GREECE encourages students to compare their own bunkering experiences with their peers and draw on the vast experience of the course lecturers. Even for those who have been in the industry for many years, this course offers something really special.

Each day will begin with theoretical lectures, covering the subjects of the day. These lectures do not exceed 3 hours!

WHO CAN ATTEND?

• Anyone involved in the bunker industry who hasn't had the opportunity to experience the "real life" of bunkering while on the job, regardless of how many years one has been in this business
• Anyone who would like to freshen-up their knowledge and/or real-life experience.
