The use of Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) has significantly increased in recent decades. FPSOs have lower cost relative to traditional offshore oil platforms. The latest FPSOs are used for developing deepwater oil fields and reserves where it is either not possible or not practical to install a fixed platform. It is crucial to understand the environmental and design aspects affecting the operation to operate FPSOs successfully. Also, beneficial to know all essential elements of FPSOs.
Ports and harbors form a major part of coastal communities. They serve as centers of economic development and the gateway to domestic, regional, and international trade. Port authorities and operators face many challenges with regard to their roles and their impact in the sustainable development of coastal areas. The activities in ports and harbors being of paramount importance also raise the need for seamless and secure operations within and outside the realm of activities and movements.
This course covers many topics including shipping lines, container tankers, dry bulk, and port-centric logistics; it is a helpful, up-to-date resource for students of logistics and logistics professionals.
Marine operations include the movement, berthing, and un-berthing of ships and other marine crafts within the limits and approaches of the port authority. Ships are the main means of transport of various liquids and gases, some of which are hazardous and extremely dangerous, if mishandled, to port workers as well as marine flora and fauna. Thus, vessels carrying dangerous material need to be effectively managed to ensure safety. Marine safety involves the prevention of damage and pollution to the marine environment through strict rules, restrictions and legislations.

The course Port State Control is aimed at anyone interested in understanding the Port State Control procedures and inspections. This may include Ship Managers, Technical Superintendents, Ship Masters, Officers and Seafarers; Surveyors; P&I and/or Insurance Inspectors; etc.
In response to projected threats to ships and port facilities in the wake of the 9/11 attacks in the United States, the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (ISPS Code) was created. It is a comprehensive collection of procedures to improve the security of ships and port facilities. The International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), 1974, chapter XI-2 Special measures to enhance maritime security, implements the ISPS Code. A required section and a recommendatory section make up the Code.
Construction Project Management (CPR), or simply Construction management involves planning, coordinating, and monitoring a Project from the point it starts until it is completed. The course will discuss construction management principles, practices, techniques, and tools, to provide participants with an opportunity to learn key project management concepts. While project management principles can be applied to projects across different engineering disciplines, this course particularly emphasizes construction projects. Other than construction phases of the marine works project this course provides to the Clients/Employers additionally “Planning of the Marine Works and Pre-Construction Stage” which includes FEED Design, Tendering, Contractor’s Design, and other main stages.
The International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (ISPS Code) is a comprehensive set of measures to enhance the security of ships and port facilities, developed in response to the perceived threats to ships and port facilities in the wake of the 9/11 attacks in the United States. The ISPS Code is implemented through chapter XI-2 Special measures to enhance maritime security in the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), 1974. The Code has two parts, one mandatory and one recommendatory.
