There is a common perception that the shipping industry is all about master mariners, but there are many equally significant shore side jobs required to support the industry. Every year thousands of staff join the shipping industry for the first time.

Introduction to Shipping is aimed at shore staff who are new to the shipping industry. The course will provide you with an overview of the shipping industry, including ship and cargo types, the crew and their life on board, logistics and world trade, and the rules and regulations that apply to the industry.

Marlins recommends approximately 1.5 hours for completion of the course and assessment.
