Dubai / WAM

Abu Dhabi Maritime Academy (Adma), the maritime education and training arm of AD Ports group, announced on Thursday that it has rolled out a Maritime Logistics Certificate, the region’s first integrated
certificate allowing trainees to work on a broad spectrum of maritime economics and shipping industry modules.
This certificate comprises four core/mandatory units, including the introduction to shipping, economics of sea transport & international trade, shipping business, and legal principles in shipping business.
These core units prepare the groundwork for the learner to take up the fifth specialisation from the following twelve specialist units: Port Agency, Liner Trade, Dry Cargo Chartering, Tanker Chartering, Port & Terminal Management, Ship Sale & Purchase, Logistics & Multi-modal Transport, Ship Operations & Management, Marine Insurance, Shipping Law, Shipping Finance, and Offshore Support Industry.
Dr. Yasser Al Wahedi, Director of Abu Dhabi Maritime Academy, said, “We are proud to launch this Certificate, the first of its kind in the region, which aims to equip learners with the knowledge, skills and competencies in maritime economics and the shipping industry across planning and implementation of solutions, responding to complex problems and performing independently across a wide range of functions without guidance.
“This certificate, recognised by the UAE Ministry of Education (MoE) and the UK Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers (ICS), is designed to meet the needs of both individuals who are new to the maritime logistics industries with a need to acquire new skills and knowledge for better employment opportunities, as well as those who are currently working in these industries and wish to elevate their skills and knowledge to a higher level,” he added.
