Maritime cadets under the Norwegian Shipowners’ Association (NSA) CADETS Program are currently undergoing intensive Shipboard Familiarization (MAREX), transforming classroom theory into real-world competence through hands-on training at sea. Recognized worldwide for its commitment to safety, excellence, and professionalism, the NSA Cadets Program continues to be a gold standard in developing future maritime leaders.

The familiarization is conducted aboard a 2GO Group vessel, providing cadets with authentic exposure to actual ship operations, safety drills, watchkeeping routines, and the discipline of daily life on board. Here, learning is immersive, responsibility is real, and professionalism is forged voyage by voyage.
