Singapore has claimed the top spot in a survey as the world’s leading maritime cities for the 3rd consecutive time (The Straits Times, 2017). Singapore was also ranked first in the report's 2015 and 2012 surveys that were conducted by Norwegian consultancy firm Menon Economics. This year, Singapore was ranked number one in three categories: shipping, ports and logistics, and attractiveness and competitiveness
Work on the Tuas Port, which will be twice the size of Ang Mo Kio town, will also be opened progressively from 2021. When fully completed by 2040, it will be able to handle up to 65 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) of cargo a year, more than double what the port handled in 2016.
In order to continue to maintain Singapore’s position as a global port hub and a premier international maritime centre, there is a need to establish a highly skilled and specialised workforce. Our Diploma (Conversion) in Maritime Business Management course is designed to equip the students with the necessary knowledge and skills to meet the demand of this industry.
Participants are required to bring computer notebook when attending lessons, as you may need it to access the e-learning materials, writing reports, etc.
The course is designed is to equip non-maritime graduates with the knowledge and skills in shipping operations and logistics/offshore management so that they can join the maritime industry as senior executives/junior managers and perform their jobs with a greater level of competence and understanding.
