Events for maritime students at DTU

About our events

Throughout the years Nul-Kryds has organised and hosted various events of different extents, from small Christmas lunches and Martha evenings to weeklong congresses as well as students trips with company visits around the world. It is in the organisations interest to help create connection between companies and students, also to enlighten the students with the different aspects of the maritime industry. For us, it is important to organise several events each semester, to ensure all students get a chance to interact with the companies, and vice versa.

Study trip to the industry - Spring 2025

21st to 23rd of April

For the three day maritime study trip, we are going a bit far away, to the Northern part of Denmark where the maritime industry is strong, namely Frederikshavn. We will be visiting Orskov shipyard, MAN, MarineShaft, MeProduction and hopefully also MARTEC. We will also plan some social events during the days, and on Monday we will be staying in Aalborg, so we can go and grab a drink in Jomfru Ane Gade, if interested.

The plan is to leave Monday noon (around 12), and be back Wednesday evening, after sailing home with Molslinjen. The trip will be sponsored by ShippingLab, covering transport, accommodation and food, although we will still be requiring a small own-payment of 250 DKK per person.

It is a nice opportunity to see theDanish maritime industry including Shipyards, production facilities, manufacturers and other maritime related companies in Frederikshavn and surrounding area, as well as networking with companies and other maritime students.

We have a maximum of 18 spots, and will if necessary be picking participants based on study line relevancy and motivational text.
