  • e-Transport - Maritime transport

    In this practical e-learning module, we build on the concept of a shipment's life cycle, focusing specifically on freight transport by water. You will gain a thorough understanding of intercontinental ocean freight (Deep Sea Shipping), coastal shipping (Short Sea Shipping) and inland waterway transport (Inland Shipping). The emphasis is on maritime container transport, exploring the entire logistics chain: from pre- and on-carriage, customs formalities and choosing the right Incoterms to booking cargo, port capacity and the precise flow of documents (Bills of Lading, Mate's Receipts and manifests). We also examine the specific roles and responsibilities of all parties involved, including freight forwarders, shipping lines, ship agents, stevedores and port cargo-handling companies, as well as the applicable legislation, liability and rate structures.
