Successful Dry Dock Project in Portland, Oregon!

Macedonian Firewatchers Complete Training Project in Portland, Oregon

We are proud to share the successful completion of a specialized training project in Portland, Oregon, where a dedicated group of 39 Macedonian Firewatchers took part in a real-time, on-site experience aboard the prestigious cruise ship NCL – Pride of America.

🔥 A Project Focused on Growth and Readiness

This wasn’t just a standard assignment — it was a carefully planned training initiative aimed at giving our firewatchers practical, hands-on exposure to real working conditions on one of the world’s most well-known cruise ships. Participants had the opportunity to gain valuable experience in an international environment, preparing them for future projects with even greater responsibility.

By operating within a live shipyard environment, our team learned to apply safety procedures, fire prevention protocols, and emergency response measures with precision and professionalism — all while adapting to the high standards expected on board vessels operated by Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL).

👨‍🚒 Excellence in Action

The Kouzon team displayed:

  • High levels of discipline and commitment
  • Strong collaboration in an international setting
  • Adaptability to dynamic work environments
  • Readiness for future global opportunities

This project highlights Kouzon’s ongoing mission to develop skilled professionals and equip them for success on the global stage.

🌍 From Macedonia to the World

We extend our deepest appreciation to all 39 participants, our project partners, and the entire Kouzon operations team who made this opportunity possible. As we continue to expand our presence and grow our impact, projects like this are vital in building a reliable, experienced, and well-trained workforce.
