The Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB), Heritage Energy Operational Services and Global Oceon Engineers Nigeria launched a programme to train 48 Nigerians in subsea engineering. The kickoff ceremony took place in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, on 16 October.

The programme combines six months of classroom instruction with six months of structured on-the-job training. Its curriculum includes risers and hydrodynamics, offshore structures, pipeline engineering and computer-aided design; NCDMB described it as an effort to build local technical expertise for subsea operations.
