In Shipping 202 we look at the business of shipping from the perspective of the cargo as it moves, including different types of cargo; labor demands; and modes of cargo transportation. We discuss the needs of supply chain & logistics, and the role of regulatory compliance, as it effects the economy of the Columbia River.

Shipping 202 is the the third course in the Shipping Education Series! Courses can be taken in any order, and are designed for both new and experienced Maritime industry professionals.
