Experienced specialists verify that the qualifications of the labour force are in accordance with the requirements, that employees are familiar with work-safety issues. Employee training is arranged in cooperation with Refetra Ltd Training Centre, which is licenced by the Department of Education and has a long-term experience in training skilled harbour laborforce.
