Introductory hydrography course

Specialist course organisers Skilltrade BV of Holland are holding a beginners seminar at € 750 per head for anyone interested in hydrography, at the Fastolff Business Centre, Great Yarmouth on 26 and 27 May.

English language proceedings will be supported by detailed handbooks and a display of equipment organised by the locally based rental organisation, Seatronics.

Skilltrade, which has conducted similar courses in Aberdeen, Rotterdam and Houston, also plans other events in Malaysia and Holland later this year, covering not only officially accredited training programmes but also those dealing with issues concerning offshore construction, geodesy, tides, underwater acoustics, multibeam surveying, sidescan sonar, GPS and the earth sciences.
