GENERAL INFORMATION

3rd – 14th July 2023

Port of Barcelona

English

Vessels

Port operations are necessary to facilitate maritime trade between trading partners. It is pivotal to ensure that the operations are smooth and avoid congestion in the harbour. Hence, port operations can be defined as all policies, reforms and regulations that influence the infrastructure and operations of port facilities. This includes shipping services.

Maritime transport and port security has become a major concern in recent years, in particular in light of the 9/11 terror attacks. Measures taken to increase security, such as the International Ship and Port Facility (ISPS) code, had a significant impact on trade and port operations. The SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) initiative came to life as well; a comprehensive set of measures to enhance the security for the port and the ships in the harbour.

Goods

International maritime transport costs tend to be on average between two to three times as high as the custom duties of importing countries. Even so it is the cheapest way of transporting large amounts of goods compared with other transport methods.

Big differences exist between countries regarding the quality and costs of the port and shipping services available to their importers and exporters (e.g. in terms of towage operations, mooring, etc.). The existing infrastructure and connectivity of the port are also of major importance for traders when chosing to bring their goods to their destinations.

OBJECTIVES

To provide training in port operations for vessels and goods.
To show port operations and port facilities in detail and from a practical perspective.
To offer deep insight into maritime logistics, its actors and roles.
To offer deep insight into types of terminals, cargo particularities and cargo inspections.

HOW?

Analyzing the current situation
Obtaining full visibility of port operations to vessels and merchandise through field visits and debates with industry experts.
Technical Training
Providing training and information to people who will manage and make decisions in port operations and services to vessels and goods.
