This including navigating a vessel around New York Harbour in one of the College’s cutting-edge bridge simulators, a repair excercise set in a rapidly flooding chamber in the Damage Repair Instructional Unit and a range of drills in the College’s survival pool, before rounding off the day with a rather more sedate suset boat trip back to Cork city centre.
