Port Efficiency Management Course

---

Port Efficiency Management Course
Port efficiency varies widely from country  to country and even from region to region but generally, efficiency in  ports has become an important determinant of shipping costs and a  measure of facilitation of international trade flow. Containerisation  has allowed large cost reductions in cargo handling, increasing cargo  transhipment, and the creation of hub ports therefore enabling countries  or regions take advantage of increasing returns to scale.

Aim
The main aim of this course is to engineer  efficient management of port infrastructural and policy variables to  achieve efficiency in the operations and management of ports. The  concept here is to identify the drivers of port constraints inhibiting  efficient port operations and then apply tested efficiency management  models to achieve high level of service whilst minimizing costs in all  aspects of port logistics and global supply chain management.

Objectives
1. To enable course participants acquire strategic visioning skills to identify constraints,
 opportunities and risks in the management of port infrastructure and policy variables and
 properly understanding the wider implicating costs of efficient port logistics to international
 trade and economic development.

2. To enhance the ability and skills of course participants in negotiating trade disputes and in
 persuading as well as influencing partners, staff and stakeholders in reaching agreement in
 complex port efficiency management issues with the capability to handle conflicting policy
 3. To enhance participants’ knowledge of quantitative and qualitative representation of port
 infrastructure and policy variables performances to enable policy formulation, analysis and
 review in an aggressively changing efficiency demanding port and maritime industry.

Targeted Participants
The course is suitable to middle and senior managers, policymakers, senior officials of:
Ports Authorities, Rail Transport,  Container Terminal, Inland Container Depots, Freight Forwarders,  Clearing & Forwarding Agents, Shippers Councils, Students &  Academics, Researchers, Road Haulage, Customs & Excise, and others
