Diploma in Terminal Management

Terminal management is an essential port activity which manages the change in transport mode of cargo from ship to shore, and vice versa, or from one ship to another ship.

Within a port estate it is now usual that the various cargo handling facilities are operated by individual companies offering the cargo handling and storage service to ships and cargo owners and smoothing the linkage to inland connections. Today's terminal managers operate in a demanding environment, particularly in the current economic climate, and have to balance a variety of processes and demands to ensure terminals operate safely, efficiently and profitably.

This distance learning course partners with our courses in Port Management and Logistics Management and offers a comprehensive and detailed course focused around terminal operations, leadership, safety, security, environmental management and productivity, addressing the particular operating environment of a terminal handling seaborne trade.
