Peninsula is proud to partner with the University of Gibraltar Maritime Academy to support the next generation of maritime professionals through an extensive cadetship program. As part of the BSc (Hons) Maritime Science program, cadets participate in onboard experiences that fulfill the practical training required for their degrees. Students are given the opportunity of embarking on a transformative journey aboard a bunker vessel, arranged by Peninsula, where they gain critical hands-on experience that complements their academic studies.
One proud parent, Manuel Jesús Villalobos Márquez, whose son Manuel Roman Villalobos Belizon is participating in the cadetship, shared his gratitude: “We are absolutely delighted to pass on our sincere thanks to the amazing Captain Jesus Jimenez Andrades and Iker Arriaga Uribe, as well as all the officers and the professional crew of the Hercules Sun for hosting my son and making him feel so welcome. Manuel has said that from the first day of his internship, he was offered the perfect learning environment, with great support and guidance from the crew, who treated him with the utmost kindness and respect. He has also received excellent communication with Crew Manager Assistant Mark Casciaro, the liaison at his company office, which has been a great help.”
This testimonial highlights the profound impact of Peninsula’s partnership with the University of Gibraltar, offering cadets like Manuel an immersive training environment that is crucial for their progression in Maritime Science. Peninsula looks forward to continuing this fruitful collaboration, ensuring future maritime leaders are fully equipped with the practical experience needed for their careers
