El buque escuela de la Marina Civil Alva en Vigo

 

El Alva es un velero cuyo origen se remonta a 1939. En su origen era un buque mercante. Posteriormente fue reconvertido en buque escuela de la Marina Civil.

A bordo del Alva viajan, además del cuerpo de profesores entre los que se encuentra el capitán del barco, 30 alumnos que recorren diversos puertos europeos.

Suecia con una población que no llega a la mitad de la que tiene actualmente España tiene varios buques escuela al servicio de la Marina Civil. En España por el contrario la Marina Civil carece de buques de este tipo. A qué se debe esta ridícula situación. 

¿Por qué la Armada Española tiene varios buques escuela y la Marina Civil ninguno?

En España, Marina, Marina, solo hay una?. La Marina Civil no existe. Así nos va.

Un barco con capacidad para 700 personas, equipado para actuar ante grandes catástrofes y preparado para formar a las nuevas generaciones de marinos mercantes.

El barco está previsto que entre en servicio el próximo año 2023.

Abandonar a la Marina Civil es un error con graves consecuencias

La Marina Civil a escala mundial está evolucionando con un ritmo acelerado y es necesario actualizar y diversificar las Enseñanzas que han de dar respuesta satisfactoria a las demandas del mundo marítimo.

MARITIME ENERGY POSTGRADUATE DIPLOMA (PGDIP)

 

 

 

The World Maritime University

Industry and governments around the world are engaged in the international effort to battle climate change, greenhouse gas emissions, air pollutants, sea-level rise and weather-pattern changes. At the same time, there is a constant pressure towards cost-efficiency and market competitiveness.

The Paris Agreement and new IMO regulations along with its GHG strategy mean that a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions is necessary over the coming decades, with zero emissions of CO2 before the end of the 21st century (IPCC, 2014). Every maritime stakeholder must play a role in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) call for immediate action on the part of all countries, organizations and individuals.

Since the turn of the millennium 55 km per year

Therefore, geo-researchers have now had an unscheduled change to their world model and adjust their calculations, so that navigation with compass and other navigation aids such as a Pilot Plug, used by pilots around the world, continue to work.


Regular compass corrections are important

A compass has to be calibrated regularly, because the magnetic field of our Earth, on which the compass is oriented, constantly changes slightly and deviates from place to place. The corrections are especially important for captains and pilots in high latitudes. Elsewhere it does not
