Overview

Overview of Modular Programme

The Shipping Course consists of five main modules, each building on and complementing the other. This structure allows delegates to gain a holistic overview of the maritime industry. The lectures in each module have been thoroughly planned so that course participants will gain a deep insight into each specific topic. In addition to lectures, workshops will enable delegates to bring theory to life and to practice and develop their newly learned skills.

Module 01: Shipping Foundations
This module lays the foundations upon which delegates will build. The sessions will provide a basic understanding of the ship and shipping as a business.

Module 02: Shipping Industries
These sessions will underpin the fundamentals of several key market segments. Lecturers will provide up-to-date market overviews and will cover areas including tanker, dry cargo, gas, container shipping and more.

Module 03: Shipping Markets
The delegates will focus on various aspects of the shipping markets such as voyage estimations, chartering negotiations, forward freight agreements, sale & purchase activities and vessel recycling. Several workshops and competitions enhance the learning process.

Module 04: Ship Management & Operations
Attention will be given to managerial and operational issues including financing, insurance and P&I cover. The delegates will also follow the voyage of a ship to gain an understanding of practical onboard operations. A series of lectures will also consider the legal framework underpinning the shipping markets.

Module 05: The Future & Environmental Challenges
The final module will explore important regulatory issues and their potential effects on future vessel design. An exploration of future trends in the new building market and a consideration of the environmental challenges facing shipping rounds off the course.

Delegates are encouraged to draw upon their own industry experience, therefore sharing and enriching each other’s experience and learning on the Shipping Course.
