Postgraduate Diploma in Marine Insurance
Course commences: 14th September 2010

This is a unique course as it provides students with the rare opportunity of specialising in marine insurance. For some time already, the premium income has been insufficient to cover claims in several categories of marine insurance and in the current shipping markets there is serious concern and clear indications that claims will increase. Consequently, a high level of expertise will be essential to maintain a competitive advantage.

The course has a modular structure. The first module is a substantial introduction to the fundamental principles of insurance law as well as aspects of maritime law and provides the students with a foundation for in depth studies of insurance against marine risks.

Certificate in Chartering
Course commences: 21st September 2010

Charterparties are one of the key contracts in shipping, a world-wide industry worth billions of dollars. Everyday new charterparties are fixed, committing vessels to sail to ports world-wide, and to carry thousands of different types of cargo. Ships are expensive and time is money. Charterparties are complex and detailed contracts and a thorough understanding of them is needed to ensure the best contractual terms are obtained, and that they are operated to maximum commercial advantage. A small mistake in drafting a charterparty, or in understanding its terms, can cause a significant financial loss.

Diploma in Ship Management
Course commences: 29th September 2010

The management of ships has undergone many major changes during the last twenty years. Most companies used to ‘do it all’ and operate with a completely vertically integrated management system providing support for all aspects of the vessels’operation. This enabled shipping companies to train future managers from within the company, and many seafarers started their shore careers as Marine Superintendents or Cargo Supers. Within the company structure, these future managers were supported and readily able to adjust from the enclosed management structure on a ship to the much wider environment and more complex issues that are encountered in the shore environment.
