2. The heart of any shipping company lies in the operations
department: the starting point of all activities involved in running
vessels.
The Certificate in Ship Operations introduces the key operational
functions within shipping organisations. It provides an essential
guide to those working in (or aiming to work in) ship operations, as
well as those seeking a deeper understanding of how the global
shipping industry works.
An operator’s top priority is to ensure the safe, smooth and
economical running of their principals' fleet whilst ensuring that
contractual obligations are met. They orchestrate the activities of all
departments towards the achievement of a common goal: making
profits through hiring ships.
The operations department is also responsible for evaluating and
reporting overall fleet performance, condition and maintenance
including safety and running costs. It is imperative to co-ordinate the
implementation of, and compliance with, the multitude of ever-
changing maritime codes and regulations governing international
shipping.
This indispensable course brings together leading industry
practitioners to guide you through the main areas of knowledge
needed to fulfil this complex and crucial function. Six clear and
comprehensive modules show you how to:
• Provide post-fixture support to the vessels
• Issue voyage instructions
• Ensure ships perform as per the charterparty agreements
• Ensure the safe and efficient carriage and delivery of cargoes
• Supervise the disbursement of all funds necessary to run the ships
• Arrange for freight / hire / demurrage collection from charterers
• Arrange for the provision of the vessels with bunkers.
This certificate is a must for anyone who needs a greater understanding
of ship operations, and represents an excellent foundation for higher
studies and career advancement. It is not only beneficial to shipping
industry entrants, but is an ideal refresher to those wanting to
consolidate or update their knowledge.
Whether ship or shore based, distance learning means you can
upgrade your skills and develop your career prospects with the
flexibility of 100% online delivery. You can access, save or print
course materials to study when it’s convenient for you. Your expert
faculty members are on hand to answer questions and guide
discussion via the online forum, where you can also network with
fellow students from around the world.
I look forward to welcoming you onto the programme and expanding
your knowledge of Ship Operations - one of the most highly-valued
functions in any shipping company.
