The MOST – Motorways of the Sea Training – courses go beyond standard intermodality training and delve into comprehensive short-sea shipping operations aboard Ro-Pax vessels. Our students are offered the opportunity to study intermodal operations on a Grimaldi Lines or GNV vessel on the crossings between the cities of Barcelona, Civitavecchia, and Genoa. The additional lectures offered ensure that a complete knowledge of these is acquired by the students in an eminently practical environment.
