A ceremonial event took place at the administrative building of the Balkan Shipyard and Ship Repair Plant to mark the completion of the practical training program for specialists and the awarding of corresponding certificates.

The ceremony was attended by Choi Yong Wook, head of the Korean company, and R. Jepbarov, general director of the "Balkan" plant. For nearly two months, sixteen highly qualified engineers from South Korea's "Koryo Shipbuilding Industry Technology Co., Ltd." conducted intensive sessions to improve the professional level of the plant's specialists as part of joint shipbuilding projects. Specialists who excelled in demonstrating deep theoretical knowledge and practical skills during the training were awarded honorary certificates and given gifts.

The head of the South Korean company expressed sincere admiration for the talented young shipbuilders and confidence in their bright future. The training of "Balkan" plant specialists in Korean shipbuilding technologies was stipulated in a contract for the joint construction of two dry cargo ships, signed between the "Balkan" plant and "Koryo Shipbuilding Industry Technology Co., Ltd."
