Course Overview

Ports are the arteries of international trade, handling over 80% of global merchandise trade volume according to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD). Maritime transport is valued at more than $14 trillion annually, making efficient port monitoring and strict regulatory compliance crucial for global commerce, national security, and environmental protection. As the complexity of global supply chains grows and environmental, cyber, and operational risks increase, port authorities and regulatory agencies face unprecedented challenges in ensuring safe, secure, and sustainable port operations.

In today’s interconnected world, ports must not only manage the flow of cargo but also ensure compliance with a web of international conventions such as the International Maritime Organization (IMO) regulations, the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code, and environmental laws like MARPOL. Non-compliance can result in costly delays, heavy penalties, environmental harm, and reputational damage. With the rise of digital transformation in ports, monitoring and regulation now extend into areas such as cybersecurity, AI-powered tracking, IoT-based monitoring, and blockchain-enabled trade documentation.
