In this program, 30 senior managers of the Panama Canal Authority have been trained locally in advanced maritime economics and logistics. This intensive two-week program was developed specifically for the ACP management, and it revolved around the following thematic units:

• Management science and forecasting techniques;
• Shipping and port economics;
• Transport finance;
• Maritime and Terminal Logistics.

The objective of the course was to provide ACP with advanced management skills that could be instantly applied in the daily working environment of its staff. The course ended with a strategic marketing conference where the MEL team presented its perspectives on maritime demand forecasting and future developments in containership sizes.
