The National Navy, through the Naval Academy of Cadets 'Almirante Padilla', welcomed the Ship of the Maritime University of Gdynia 'Dar Młodzieży', from Poland, which will be in Cartagena this 30 and 31 January.
The event was held at the Edurbe pier, in the Manga neighborhood, with the participation of the Polish Ambassador to Colombia, the Deputy Director of the Naval School and representatives of the Ministry of Maritime Economy of Poland. The group of musicians of the Naval School sang the anthem of Poland and typical Colombian music at the arrival of the foreign ship was also heard.
It is the first time that the Polish school ship comes to Cartagena. It takes place in the framework of the centennial celebration of the recovery of Polish independence.
As host, the Naval Academy of Cadets 'Almirante Padilla' received the Commander of the ship and 90 young crewmembers. Rear Admiral Francisco Cubides Granados welcomed the Polish delegation and shared with visitors a little of the essence of being Colombian seafarer.
During the activity, integration activities were carried out with the Colombian Cadets, where they learned about the simulation capabilities of the Center for Research, Development and Innovation of Maritime Activities (CIDIAM), used for training the crews of the National Navy, the future Officers and the people of the sea.
In the same way, they carried out maritime activities such as haulage, heavy line, among other sports, where they had the opportunity to work as a team and have fun in healthy competition.
