Dear Colleague,
The ports sector has changed radically over both the long and short term but ports continue to play a vital role in the efficiency of world trade and the movement of goods and people locally, regionally and globally. A port manager is kept busy having to cope with challenges from world-wide economic effects and the changes in what was rapidly increasing trade demands, addressing ever growing ship sizes and changes in market structures; managing increased private sector involvement with terminal concessions and more competition. A good education has never been more important for a port professional. The role of port managers and their teams in the delivery of an efficient landlord port operation now and into the future is vital for ensuring that imports and exports are handled efficiently and cost effectively. This specially developed course from the School of Maritime Operations and Logistics at North West Kent College has been providing the underpinning knowledge to enable port authority professionals to meet industry requirements for the last 14 years. Todays port managers are responsible as landlords for providing and managing many port services. This includes the safe movement and berthing of vessels, as well as providing quay and land facilities for cargo terminal operations, managing the port real estate and marine environment, whilst ensuring safety and boundary security are maintained. Further services also include working with partners to ensure hinterland transport connections are efficient, liaising with third parties such as terminal and shipping line customers, developing the port estate to reflect customer requirements, attracting new terminal business, working with terminals to attract new cargo business and general management functions. All these activities ensure that port management is a varied, interesting and challenging occupation, which benefits from a thorough education as delivered by this Diploma in Port Management. The course is delivered by part-time distance learning over 12 months and gives you the flexibility to study whilst still in employment. It's structured around the themes of the role of ports within international trade, shipping and logistics, managing harbour operations, managing port property, managing terminal operators, and related management knowledge and skills, before culminating in a case study which draws the various elements of the course together. The Diploma in Port Management has been developed for the professional port managers of today and is supported by: The International Association of Ports and Harbours International Harbour Masters Association UK Harbour Masters Association The Marine Society The Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers

This Diploma equips you with a level of knowledge that will benefit yourself and your employer. Please have a look at the module details to see how the course could enhance your port management professionalism. I look forward to receiving your application to enrol.
