This course provides a comprehensive guide to maritime supply chain security, designed for professionals involved in shipping, port operations, logistics, and international trade. It focuses on the specific threats and vulnerabilities inherent in the global maritime transport network, including piracy, terrorism, smuggling, cargo theft, and sophisticated cyber security threats. The program delves into key topics such as risk assessment tailored to maritime routes, implementing security protocols at sea and in port, complying with international standards like the ISPS Code and C-TPAT/AEO specific to maritime links, and leveraging technology for enhanced vessel and cargo monitoring. Participants will learn how to build a resilient and secure maritime supply chain that minimizes risk and maintains business continuity across the entire shipping lifecycle.
