Antillas Sea Agency Joins Forma’t al Port’s Growing Network of Collaborators
The port-logistics training initiative Forma’t al Port, driven by the Escola Europea , has welcomed a new collaborating company. Antillas Sea Agency, a well-established maritime representation firm based in El Masnou, has joined as a new sponsor, further reinforcing the programme’s mission to build bridges between education and industry.

With this partnership, the company becomes part of a wider network of institutions and businesses that are actively shaping the future of the logistics-port sector. As part of their commitment, Antillas Sea Agency will support the programme’s training activities, which include immersive visits to port facilities and direct interaction between students and logistics professionals.
“Having companies like Antillas Sea Agency on board is a true asset,” commented Eduard Rodés, Director of the Escola Europea. “They are deeply connected to the region and bring valuable insight from their operations to the students. These partnerships are what strengthen the entire logistics-port community.”
A Shared Commitment to Talent Development
The programme Forma’t al Port was launched with the goal of fostering logistics knowledge and employability among young students in Catalonia. It is based on an experiential learning model and supported by a wide range of logistics companies, associations, and public institutions. The incorporation of new sponsors like Antillas Sea Agency ensures that students gain first-hand exposure to the sector’s real operations and challenges.
The collaboration is already showing results. One of the company’s recent recruits is a former participant of the programme’s Talent initiative — a clear example of how these collaborations can directly impact career opportunities for young people in the region.
International Prospects on the Horizon
The partnership also opens up interesting possibilities for international collaboration, especially in light of Antillas Sea Agency’s solid experience in the Caribbean region. Future exchanges between educational institutions in Cuba and Barcelona are being considered, with the aim of enhancing bilateral knowledge transfer and expanding the programme’s international scope.
Forma’t al Port continues to thrive thanks to the joint commitment of sponsors who share a vision of a more connected and better-prepared logistics workforce.
