Namcor, in partnership with SBM Offshore and the Namibia Youth Energy Forum, hosted an FPSO masterclass at the Namcor Auditorium on Tuesday.
The session was facilitated by Thomas Lorin, FPSO Framing Manager at SBM Offshore. It focused on Floating Production, Storage and Offloading units, a key part of offshore oil and gas development.
The masterclass covered FPSO design, construction and operations and offered practical insight for industry professionals and young Namibians interested in the energy sector.
More than 110 people attended the event, including Namcor staff and members of the youth community.
SBM Offshore country manager Matthieu Jeannin said the session was well received.
“The masterclass was a great success, and I thank all partners involved for making it possible.” He said the level of engagement showed strong interest in technical skills development within Namibia’s growing energy sector.
Speaking on behalf of Namcor, Paulo Coelho, the manager for marketing, communications and public relations, said the event met its objectives.
“This class aligns with Namcor’s mandate to build awareness and readiness for Namibia’s evolving oil and gas sector, especially amongst the youth.”
He said such initiatives help explain offshore operations and ensure that both professionals and young Namibians gain exposure to knowledge and opportunities linked to the country’s energy future.
Namcor said it remains committed to supporting initiatives that build local capacity, promote industry awareness and prepare Namibians for opportunities linked to offshore exploration and future production.
