Georg Stage training ship at Nordre Toldbod in Copenhagen ⚓
The training ship Georg Stage will be moored at CMP’s facilities at Nordre Toldbod in Copenhagen from 24 to 26 September 2024. The Georg Stage’s call at Nordre Toldbod emphasises the connection between the city of Copenhagen and its commercial port, the training of future seafarers, and the preservation of the strong and vibrant maritime tradition in Copenhagen and Denmark.
The Georg Stage is the world’s oldest sailing civilian maritime school and the model for all the sailing maritime schools that have been established around the world over the years. Today, it is one of only two schools globally that provide young people with a professional maritime education on-board a sailing ship.
“For Copenhagen as a commercial port and CMP as a maritime workplace, it is a great honour to be able to welcome the world’s oldest sailing maritime school, the Georg Stage, to the quays at Nordre Toldbod. As a training ship, Georg Stage is crucial for ensuring the continuing supply of skilled maritime graduates to shipping companies and other maritime employers,” remarks Barbara Scheel Agersnap, CEO, Copenhagen Malmö Port.
Today, the public is invited to an open-ship event from 18:00 to 20:00, offering visitors the chance to explore the ship and learn more about its history and mission. 🚢
