The AGA Technical tour will take place on Sunday, 28 April and includes a visit to the Port of Cape Town, followed by a visit to some of Cape Town’s most beautiful scenic places.

The Port of Cape Town technical tour will commence with a tour and plaque unveiling ceremony at the Robinson Dry Dock at 8:30am.
