Cohort 76 Students in Ship Mechanical Engineering Technology and Offshore Structures Visit Nosco Shipyard for Practical Experience
In accordance with the 2025–2026 academic plan to enhance enterprise-based experiential learning for students, on March 18, 2026, the Institute of Mechanical Engineering and Dynamics, Division of Ship Engineering and Offshore Equipment, in collaboration with Nosco Shipyard Joint Stock Company, organized a field visit for K76 students majoring in Ship Mechanical Engineering Technology and Offshore Structures. The visit took place at the company’s ship repair facility located in Tien Phong 4 Residential Area, Lien Hoa Ward, Quang Ninh Province. This activity is one of many meaningful initiatives within the framework of training cooperation and professional exchange between the University of Transport Technology (UTT) and Nosco Shipyard.
The program was designed to provide students with early exposure to a professional, modern production environment that meets international standards. Through participation, students gained a clearer understanding of their chosen field and were able to shape more concrete and practical career orientations. At the same time, the program contributed to raising awareness of professional requirements in terms of technical skills, soft skills, and adaptability, thereby helping students proactively prepare for their future careers.

During the visit, students were introduced to the overall operations of the shipyard, including its scale, production capacity, and development orientation. They were also equipped with essential knowledge on occupational safety regulations in industrial environments, enhancing their awareness and responsibility when working in practice. Notably, the on-site visit allowed students to directly observe production workshops, fabrication, assembly, and repair areas, thereby gaining deeper insights into technological processes. A highlight of the visit was the 80,000 DWT lifting platform system—considered the “heart” of the shipyard—which left a strong impression regarding the facility’s scale and advanced technical capabilities.
In addition, students had the opportunity to listen to practical insights shared by experienced engineers and experts, helping them better understand both the challenges and career prospects for graduates in ship mechanical engineering entering the ship repair and maritime industry.
