Maritime Hub
As a British Overseas Territory, Gibraltar is a globally-significant maritime centre of excellence that benefits from 20,000 crew changes a year, the busiest bunkering operation in the Mediterranean and regular calls from commercial and private passenger vessels. Gibraltar enjoys regular air links with the UK, a land border with Spain makes it an ideal location to carry out training.
Collaborative partnership
The University of Gibraltar has a collaborative partnership with Maritime Skills Academy (MSA), a division of UK-based Viking Maritime, to deliver world-class maritime technical training courses.
