Antwerp in docker training collaboration

OCHA, Antwerp’s dock worker training centre, is to collaborate with APEC-Antwerp/Flanders Port Training Center to organise joint courses for dock workers and operators from ports in other countries.

The agreement will see the two education providers working together in the development, promotion and carrying out of the training courses for dockers.

OCHA will develop the courses and training the trainers in Belgium and abroad, while APEC will be responsible for international promotion and coordination with international delegations.

In related news, the Port of Antwerp has opened a training centre in Mumbai to offer training for port professionals. The lectures will initially be held in temporary facilities until the permanent premises are ready for the JNPT APEC Port Training Centre. The training centre will ultimately be located in JNPT port, although professionals from other Indian ports are welcome to follow courses there.
