SLPA is one of the best places an engineering apprentice can complete his or her in-plant training. They have three engineering divisions electrical, mechanical and civil. I was fortunate enough to train at the electrical division under the Chief engineer. Here are few photos of my experience at SLPA.
Following pic was taken at the very beginning of our training during a visit to the terminals. As you can see we were amazed by the size of ships at close range. lol.
I covered both the electrical and electronic components in my training. The six month training program of SLPA is internationally recognized. Following pics were taken at the pilot station of SLPA which is one of the most important places in the port.
They use the best products in the market for best performance. Here is a photo of a CISCO access point used for wireless communication.
Although it is a big place with a large income, they allocate very less for new technologies. The port is getting old day by day. However for a trainee it is a good place to learn.
