Introduction to Cargo Transportation Processes is a free online course that begins by introducing you to the characteristics of break bulk cargo, as well demonstrating how to develop a proper stowage plan.

You will learn about loading and discharging operations in shipping, as well as the vital information that is exchanged in the pre-arrival checklist. This course will teach you about the metrics of cargo measurements, as well as how temperature and volume values are corrected.
Furthermore, you will get familiar with container systems as an essential part of maritime logistics, as well as the process of ‘containerization’. Learn about some liner service strategies and how they are applied, as well as the multi-trade strategies used in shipping today. This free online course will be of great use to students and researchers of modern maritime logistics, and anyone with an interest in the processes carried out during and after cargo transportation.
