Perspectives
Be your own captain!
Our trainees have good opportunities for promotion. For around 15 years, we have taken on our trainees if they wish to do so.
From ship’s boy to captain
One of the former ship’s boys is now the captain of the MS RheinEnergie. Patrick Gereke started at KD as a 17-year-old. He was a sailor, bosun, skipper and has been captain on Europe’s leading event ship since 2018. Now he is training himself!
Our RheinZeit editorial team spoke to him and a current trainee bargeman.
