The purpose of the sessions, provided by Repsol's technical assistance technician, Adrián Pérez, and the SMAC (Safety, Environment and Quality) technique of Repsol, Rosa Pérez, is for sailors to recycle their skills on safety and good practice issues, and to acquire the necessary knowledge to act correctly in the event of an accident.
