The Ship Management Academy is a comprehensive and intensive course designed to equip participants with the essential knowledge and skills required in the dynamic world of ship management.

From the outset, participants will explore the fundamentals of ship management, exploring its history, core stakeholders, and the role of a ship manager as both an asset and risk manager. They will examine the competitive landscape and crucial aspects like reputation, performance, and relations management. The programme concludes with insights into the global maritime industry, geopolitical trends, and the expectations of shipowners, cargo owners, and operators. Next, participants will explore principles in ship management, legal aspects, and vessel operations, emphasising the importance of customer-centric approaches, organisational structures, and the need for scale and efficiency. Practical sessions, including case studies, provide participants with hands-on experiences, such as analysing the business case for outsourcing ship management services.
