Course Description

DETAILS: The course runs Tuesday - Thursday, from 08:30 - 17:00 (local time) each day with an hour break for lunch. The Maritime Port Executive program is designed to build on the foundations established in the MPM program. The MPE session is a two and a half day seminar that covers the specifics of how ports and marine terminals fit into communities; waterway, road and rail access; property and risk management; logistics from the shippers perspective including care, control and custody of cargo and the pricing of transportation services; tariffs and operational documents; business development; public and media relations; and strategic/master/logistics and cargo planning. The program incorporates three case studies and is capped off by a half-day port planning exercise that incorporates all the content discussed in the MPM/MPE program. Upon completion, participants receive a professional certification as a Maritime Port Executive (MPE), receive academic credit from participating institutions, and may receive CEU credits from the IAMPE.
