As part of its extensive programme of social
responsibility, Sovcomflot (SCF) dedicates
funding to equip classrooms at two of the
leading naval academies in Russia. Sovcomflot
further provides resources for the practical
training of cadets studying at these
institutions.
SCF Group Training Sovcomflot makes provisions
for cadets to access training through both SCF
Group training centres and SCF Group vessels.
Sovcom- flot has supported the Nadezhda and Mir
training ships for several years and a unique
training ship developed as part of the Far East-
ern Floating University from the Russian
Geographical Society. The ship, called the
Professor Houston, has the capacity to provide
practi- cal training for as many as 100 ca-
dets at a time.
