Inspiring the Next Generation:

EFOMM students visit Kongsberg Maritime Brazil

Kongsberg Maritime proudly welcomed students from the Merchant Marine Academy (EFOMM) to our site in Brazil — a key step in our ongoing commitment to inspiring the future of the offshore industry through education, innovation, and collaboration.

Connecting theory and practice: EFOMM visits Kongsberg Brazil

This visit provided an exciting opportunity for these aspiring maritime professionals to connect classroom theory with real-world application. The students explored Kongsberg Maritime’s core technologies, advanced training environment, and state-of-the-art systems that are helping to shape the future of offshore and maritime operations.

From Theory to Practice

A highlight of the visit was a live demonstration of our Dynamic Positioning (DP) system in action, led by instructor Raphael Salles. The students were able to experience firsthand how DP systems function within a simulator environment, reinforcing their theoretical knowledge with practical understanding.

“These experiences help bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world operations, empowering students with a more comprehensive and applied view of offshore systems,” said Salles.

Through active engagement, hands-on demonstrations, and direct dialogue with our experts, the students left with a deeper appreciation for how innovation and technology drive progress in the offshore sector.

Investing in Tomorrow’s Maritime Leaders

At Kongsberg Maritime, we believe in fostering the next generation of maritime talent. By opening our doors to students, we aim to ignite curiosity, encourage critical thinking, and support the development of skilled professionals who will lead the offshore industry into the future.

We extend our sincere thanks to the students of EFOMM for their enthusiasm and curiosity. We look forward to building on this connection and continuing to support the growth and success of tomorrow’s maritime leaders.
