Course Aim

Any Shipping organization that recruits graduates or personnel without shipping experience needs to undertake an extensive familiarization process for day-to-day issues connected to the vessel?s statutory, technical, vetting, and marine operations. In some cases, this familiarization process may be extended for several months due to the lack of basic knowledge of ship topology and terminology, classification rules, statutory requirements, or commercial procedures.

This course includes a highly rigorous material that provides basic, however essential practical knowledge for new personnel of organizations such as Ship Management Companies, Chartering Brokers, S&P Brokers, Shipyards, Agencies. We aim through this course, to reducing the familiarisation period of young employees and save resources for organizations.

?

Course objectives

It is commonly agreed that young graduates? or personnel with restricted shipping background, require input on HOW a ship is operated and WHAT parameters are considered in every decision-making process. Ship operation is a challenging task due to the nature of the business, the number of connected factors, and the availability of information. And above all, the fundamental TIME restrictions, are the major factors connected to a prudent decision.

The objective of this course is to provide basic information about ship operations and trading characteristics. In this way, young shipping professionals are motivated by the shipping environment and the required knowledge within the shipping market. Furthermore, Shipping Organisations reduce the basic familiarisation time to a minimum and thus save on internal resources. This course aims in reducing this period by 50%.

To enhance the required readiness of new professionals, real case simulation exercises take place 24/7 and WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE to candidates during the course period. This simulation will measure the level of promptness, acuity, availability, and efficiency of each candidate.

Your Benefits from attending this course

As a candidate, when entering the shipping industry in a sector relevant to ship management, commodities management, chartering, or trading, you need to have the necessary knowledge?and be familiar with the terminology that we are using. Almost all organizations have familiarisation processes for new personnel, however, resources are sometimes limited or the existing personnel is overwhelmed with day-to-day work, and as such your familiarisation ends up lasting much longer than should be. This course will enable you to familiarise yourself much faster.?

This course was developed and tested within DYNAMARINe. Our strong bonds with well-established and experienced shipping organizations?during the last twenty years, allowed us to introduce this course in a broad scale, and enrich it with an innovative curriculum and implementation ideas. It is a difficult and challenging course because we want our graduates to be the prime in job selection. We shall also network together and built a sustainable supply chain for future business executives.

Each candidate that graduates with the highest grade will be offered a sponsored internship in DYNAMARINe for a period of 4 weeks with the possibility to be extended to 8 weeks.

All our graduates will have the ability to have their CVs in a dedicated web area of DYNAMARINe and be recommended to our clients, globally, and with relevant entries in LinkedIn.
