Right after that, Rollens entered for another Post Graduate Degree course in Maritime Safety, Security & Environmental Protection at the World Maritime University Sweden.

Desirous of more knowledge, she proceeded to the Lloyd’s Maritime & Administration Academy London for a Certificate in Vessel Registration. Rollens was certainly not done.
