Ships & Aircraft Visits

What is involved?

These visits are designed to support students through the ITOPS award.

A typical port/airport visit would include:

• A brief presentation by the port manager/terminal manager
• A guided tour of vessel/aircraft
• Presentation by a representative of HM Customs & Excise
• Tour of warehouse and cargo handling facilities
• A Q&A session

The itinerary has been carefully designed to help students understand the scope and extent of procedures when a vessel arrives at port.

The response and positive comments from the many thousands of students attending these "Field Trips" has been overwhelming, with students embracing the multifarious educational aspects of these events, in turn greatly enhancing their overall operational "Real Time" shipping activities when incumbent at their "Home Office(s)". These trips are highly beneficial and in addition to the steep learning curve of these excursions, have proven to be very enjoyable for those attendees, with many students requesting repeat visits on future "Field Trips".
