Port Transit-Corridor, Policy & Transhipment Logistics

---

Port Transit-Transport and Transhipment Logistics Management Course

Access to world market through ports  has increasingly become a determinant to economic growth in some  landlocked countries and port countries of the world. Port  transit-corridor logistics is now an important element of the  international trade supply chains. Not only will ports benefit from  efficient transit-transport and transhipment logistics management but  some will advance to become regional hubs by perfecting in  transit-transport logistics. The complexity in transit-transport and  transhipment logistics management demands highly skilled manpower. This  is why this programme is carefully put together by academics,  ministerial policymakers, port operators, consultants and stakeholders  to exploit the efficiency within.

Aim 

The broad aim of this skill-enhancement  packed programme is to promote efficient port transit-transport and  transhipment logistics management in a challenging and dynamic  environment. Ports handling goods destined to other countries must meet  the acceptable level of efficiency it requires. This will constrain both  the facilities and manpower of the port to a certain extent that the  capacity can no longer cope unless strategically and tactically managed.  It is on this platform this programme was developed hence the following  objectives.

Objectives

1. To enhance the knowledge of  participants on the growing regulatory complexities in the   management  of port transit-transport and logistics management interface.
2. To enable participants acquire  up-to-date skills in the strategic management of the interface    of  port transit-transport and transhipment logistics whilst understanding  the policy issues and    application in transit-corridor frontier trade  operations.
3. To equip participants with the multi-skills needed in managing such complex logistics   operations.

Targeted Participants

This programme is for middle and senior  management personnel of Ports Authorities, Rail Transport, Container  Terminals & Inland Depots, Custom & Excise, Police, Staff of  Ministries of Transport, Economic Planning, Trade; Freight Forwarders,  Shipping Agents, Shippers Councils; Clearing & Forwarding Agents,  Road Haulage, Students & Academics, and others.
