Port expansions and maritime infrastructure projects are notoriously prone to delays and cost overruns — not because the engineering is impossible, but because the project management often isn't built for the complexity of the maritime environment. The Port Infrastructure and Maritime Project Delivery Training Course equips professionals with the planning, coordination and control skills needed to deliver maritime projects on time and within budget.

Delivered by Arab British Fellowship Training Academy under the Shipping, Maritime and Ports Training Courses specialization, this Management category programme focuses on port development, infrastructure planning and project execution. Participants learn how to manage maritime projects effectively, coordinate resources, control project risks, and improve operational performance in port and shipping environments.

• Plan and execute maritime projects using effective scheduling and budgeting techniques.
• Manage port development and infrastructure planning for shipping and port operations.
• Coordinate resources, teams and stakeholders across maritime project life cycles.
• Identify and mitigate risks affecting maritime infrastructure and shipping projects.
• Manage projects within shipping operations, including vessel, port and stakeholder coordination.
• Monitor project progress, quality and performance through reporting and control techniques.
• Anticipate digital transformation and sustainability trends in maritime project development.
