ENC hosts programme at Traditional Ships Fair

The Enkhuizen Nautical College wants to prolong the success of 2024: the Sunday will be filled with its own lecture programme, dedicated to the fair theme of Sustainability.

On Sunday 9 November, the fair’s theatre programme will be put together in close cooperation with the Enkhuizer Zeevaartschool. The (English-language) presentations are open to all visitors. This year’s theme is “Sustainability under Sail”. This will include a lot of attention to sustainability, such as sustainable cargo shipping under sail, technological developments for sustainable sailing, climate-neutral ocean crossings, etc.
