April 2024: 14th Liner Shipping Transportation Course Launched
In partnership with the Barcelona Shipping Agents’ Association, ACB, we are pleased to announce the launch of the 14th FONASBA/ACB Liner Shipping Transportation Course, which will run from 6th April to 21st June 2024.
To date more than 100 students from FONASBA members in Brazil, Costa Rica, Croatia, Dubai, Greece, India, Italy, Jordan, Kenya, Malta, Mauritania, Mexico, Morocco, North Macedonia, Panama, Slovenia and Turkey have taken the course, along with nearly 700 in Spain.
Unlike other FONASBA-supported courses, it has a set structure, comprising ten modules built around a series of video lectures provided by senior members of the Spanish liner shipping sector. Those video lectures are also available for offline viewing for students in other time zones. Students also have access to a comprehensive set of supporting resources, including the opportunity to exchange comments and questions with the lecturers in a series of tutorials. In view of the delivery method, this course has fixed start and finish dates.
Applications should be made without delay. The next course will not be held until April 2024 so early registration is recommended.
The course is administered by ACB and full details of the course content, and duration, the lecturers, learning materials, the fees payable and other information are provided in the course booklet that can be found here. The main points are summarised below. The course information pack can be found here.
Adequately and appropriately trained liner agency staff are vital for supporting your principals. FONASBA therefore recommends that your company enters its employees in this course.
A summary of course details are included in the course booklet within the information pack.
