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.

🎯 Learning objectives

After completing this combined self-study package, participants will be able to:

Distinguish between and analyse modes of transport by water:
Explain the differences, characteristics and applications of ocean shipping (Deep Sea), coastal shipping (Short Sea) and inland waterway transport (Inland Shipping), including a market and SWOT analysis of transport by water.
Manage the life cycle of a maritime shipment:
Understand and plan the entire operational process of a maritime shipment, from preparation in the seller's warehouse to final delivery to the buyer (door-to-door, door-to-port, port-to-door and port-to-port).
Apply Incoterms and select containers correctly:
Select the appropriate Incoterms 2020 for maritime and intermodal transport and make informed choices about container types (such as 20-foot TEU versus 40-foot FEU, In Gauge versus Out of Gauge) and service levels (FCL/LCL, CY/CFS).
Identify the roles in the logistics chain:
Describe the specific tasks, functions and interactions of all parties in the chain, including the shipper, freight forwarder, ship agent, stevedore/cargo handler, shipping line, pilot and customs authorities.
Interpret and use transport documents correctly:
Apply knowledge of essential shipping and transport documents, including the Bill of Lading (and variants such as negotiable, straight and sea waybill), the Mate's Receipt, shipping notes, cargo manifests and customs documents (such as ENS).
Calculate and assess rates, surcharges and liability:
Understand pricing structures (liner terms, basic freight, box/commodity rates) and surcharges (BAF, CAF, THC, demurrage/detention), assess shipping lines' statutory obligations and liability (Hague-Visby Rules, VGM), and understand the importance of additional cargo insurance, including general average.
Solve practical inland waterway and coastal shipping problems:
Apply knowledge of CEMT classes, waterways and specific regulations (such as CMNI and inland waterway chartering legislation) through practical exercises and case studies.

e-Magazijn - "Materials Handling" in de praktijk

Dit praktijkgerichte e-learningpakket biedt een complete duik in de fysieke en technische inrichting van het magazijn. Via diepgaand lesmateriaal en gerichte instructievideo’s leert de cursist hoe opslagtechnieken, intern transport en verpakkingskeuzes naadloos op elkaar aansluiten om logistieke processen te optimaliseren. Van de juiste selectie van statische en dynamische opslagsystemen (zoals FIFO-, FEFO- en LIFO-toepassingen) tot de technische opbouw en dimensionering van palletstellingen; alle cruciale onderwerpen komen aan bod. Daarnaast behandelen de modules de waaier aan interne transportmiddelen (van manuele transpallet tot heftrucks en geautomatiseerde systemen), alsmede het strategisch inzetten van primaire, secundaire en tertiaire verpakkingen en ladingdragers ter bescherming en ladingzekering van goederen.

e-Magazijn - Layout & Inrichting

Deze e-learningmodules vormen samen een gestroomlijnd en praktisch leertraject rond datagestuurde magazijninrichting en -optimalisatie. In Data-analyse als fundament van magazijninrichting en de verdiepende instructievideo over ABC-analyse Pareto leert de cursist grote datasets te analyseren om artikelen te categoriseren (A, B, C) en de verplaatsings- en loopafstanden in het magazijn te minimaliseren. Magazijn Layout & ontwerpmethodieken reikt vervolgens de beproefde methodieken SHA (Systematic Handling Analysis) en SLP (Systematic Layout Planning) aan om goederenstromen visueel in kaart te brengen, transportarbeid te berekenen en efficiënte lay-outontwerpen te maken. Tot slot brengt de instructievideo over het inrichten en dimensioneren van de opslagruimte al deze theoretische principes samen in een concrete praktijkcase. Dankzij dit e-learningpakket verwerft de cursist direct toepasbare vaardigheden om logistieke ruimtes zelfstandig te analyseren, te herstructureren en te optimaliseren voor een maximale operationele efficiëntie.
