Introduction
Shipping plays a vital role in world trade and is the backbone of the world economy. Without ships and the services they provide, the world would not be as prosperous as it is today and many countries would not be able to participate in world trade. The shipping and logistics industries are two of the few industries that are truly global in both geographical scopes and in the nature of the business.
Globalization of trade and economies has led to a situation where multinationals have developed worldwide sourcing and marketing strategies. Logically, ports and shipping companies play an important role in enabling the smooth and efficient transportation of cargoes, thus connecting manufacturers and consumers around the world.

The year is split into two semesters, within each semester there are 2 blocks, so 4 blocks within the year. The program culminates with the Master's thesis, the final and ultimate deliverable of the program, which demonstrates the proof that the student has reached a master level of all the program competencies.
