Ship repair and construction is an essential facet of our maritime industry - one that involves the hard work of countless people in the background who ensure ships are seaworthy and capable of sailing the varied oceans around us.
Join us as we explore shipbuilding operations up close and speak with long-time engineers, fitters, and captains about the nuances of working in the industry!
