While in Port Canaveral, students had the opportunity to take a day-long shipboard firefighting course at the Port Canaveral Maritime Academy. The Academy’s “ship” is made from discarded shipping containers; among other things, students received instruction in fighting Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) fires.

The training was arduous due to the high temperature and humidity along the coast of north-central Florida in the summertime. Many thanks to our embarked Sodexo staff for ensuring students received boxed lunches and much-appreciated ice-cold water at mid-day! Students who attended this training will receive a certificate from the Port Canaveral Maritime Academy.

Special thanks to CDR Christian for sharing these training photos!
