Course Overview

In today’s globalized economy, ports and marine terminals are indispensable pillars of international trade, facilitating the seamless flow of goods and supporting economic development on a global scale. According to the International Maritime Organization (IMO), over 80% of global trade by volume and approximately 70% by value is carried by sea. This reliance on maritime logistics underscores the vital need for operational excellence, safety compliance, and sustainability in port and terminal management. As trade volumes continue to rise and global supply chains evolve, professionals across the maritime industry must elevate their capabilities to meet higher expectations in efficiency, environmental stewardship, and risk management.
In response to these evolving demands, Pideya Learning Academy presents the Advanced Port & Marine Terminal Operations, Safety, and Management training course. This advanced program is designed for port professionals, marine operations specialists, and terminal managers seeking to strengthen their strategic and technical competencies. The course focuses on integrating globally recognized best practices with modern performance and risk-based frameworks to optimize safety, reliability, and operational continuity in port environments.
Participants will explore a wide array of strategic, operational, and regulatory topics essential for achieving excellence in marine terminal operations. A core emphasis is placed on structured safety systems, key performance indicators (KPIs), and regulatory alignment, enabling attendees to lead safety transformation and operational innovation across their organizations.
Key highlights of the training include:
Comprehensive understanding of international port safety frameworks and their application across terminal operations
Use of performance metrics and KPIs to monitor, evaluate, and enhance safety and operational efficiency
In-depth exposure to risk management tools including Process Hazard Analysis (PHA), HAZOP, and FMEA
Techniques for conducting audits across operational, financial, and environmental parameters
Strategic alignment of port operations with IMO regulations, ISPS codes, and sustainability mandates
Methods to enhance port throughput, marine traffic control, and terminal layout optimization
Frameworks to develop continuous improvement plans based on audit results and risk-based findings
The training also focuses on the importance of integrating safety into the core of terminal operations through proven tools such as Safety Integrity Level (SIL) assessments and task-based risk evaluation. Participants will learn how to build resilience through effective emergency preparedness, stakeholder coordination, and sustainable development initiatives—all within the unique context of marine logistics.
Through case-based instruction, structured modules, and interactive engagement, this course encourages critical thinking and actionable planning. Participants return to their roles with not only enhanced technical know-how but also a leadership mindset to influence change and operational excellence in their ports and terminals.
With expert-led instruction by Pideya Learning Academy, participants gain deep sectoral insights and applied knowledge to navigate modern maritime challenges, elevate compliance, and achieve high-impact outcomes in one of the world’s most complex operational environments.
