Port Management
Programme in Oman
The
Port Management Course given by MEL in cooperation with the Port of
Rotterdam/Port of Sohar,
TU Delft and STC
runs successfully in Oman
The Center for Maritime Economics and
Logistics (MEL) has recently started a cooperation with the Technical University
of Delft and the Shipping and Transport College (STC) in Rotterdam to provide a Port Management Programme for the
Port of Sohar/Port of Rotterdam.
The programme entails a full year of classes, workshops and field visits and is
a tripartite joint venture among the three institutions aiming at providing
advanced and comprehensive specialised education and training in port economics
and management. The first (trial)
class of 12 carefully selected Omani and Dutch participants kicked off in Rotterdam at the beginning
of October 2008. The programme continued in January in
Muscat
(Sultanate of Oman) for one month and will carry on until the summer in the Netherlands.
The MEL contribution to the programme
consists of Port Economics; Port and Terminal Finance; and Shipping Economics.
Professor Haralambides and Michele Acciaro opened the fist cycle of lectures in Muscat in January 2009,
while the remaining classes will follow in May and June with the support of Dr.
Miaojia Liu and other MEL Faculty. In the spring, MEL will also organise a
get-together/workshop where programme participants will discuss the future of
the ports of Oman and the Middle East with the current MEL class of 2009.
