Hundipea – Into the Docks with a Marine Engineer!

Have you ever seen massive cargo ships or tankers up close? This time, we’re offering a rare opportunity to step behind the scenes of shipbuilding together with a marine engineer! We will visit the restricted area of Paljassaare Port in Hundipea, which is normally closed to the public and where active ship repair is still taking place. You’ll have the chance to see large vessels up close - and even more exciting, hear about ships and maritime engineering from a professional who earned a degree in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering from Helsinki University of Technology and has been working in the shipbuilding industry for over 20 years. P.S. In addition to what we see on site, we will also discuss the MS Estonia from an engineer’s perspective. Of course, we won’t focus only on serious topics - you’ll also hear humorous stories and incidents that have taken place in shipyards over the years. But that’s not all. We will briefly explore the history of the Hundipea area, the former Production Association Ookean, and the future development of the region.

Please note: To participate in the excursion, you must bring a valid ID card, as we will be entering a customs-controlled zone.
