Port and terminal managers have had to adapt fast to meet rising demand driven by the rapid expansion in world trade during the 21st century. Globalisation has put port models under growing pressure in increasingly competitive cargo markets.

The Course examines all operational aspects of port functions, from financing, legal concerns, and planning through to operations, marketing, competition, equipment, and infrastructure. Designed by lead experts of the industry, it analyses the management techniques that can improve services and maximise profit potential.
