Ship Navigation Safety Management Program is new in National Vocational Students Skills Competition. This program is a team competition. During the two-day competition, participants need to compete in three projects: cargo loading, navigation route design, and navigation safety management. The competition focuses on ship cargo transportation, route navigation, positioning and navigation, ship maneuvering, and seafarers’ duties in maritime communication and emergency response.

After more than three months of hard training, our college team developed a solid foundation.
