Online Webinar Series
February 2022
Wednesdays 10 am - 12 pm
We are committed to providing our members and community a flexible opportunity to learn from local industry experts. This February, we will be sharing Shipping Education 201 in four convenient online sessions on Wednesday mornings.
- February 2
- February 9
- February 16

We look at the business of shipping from the perspective of the ship, exploring the requirements and regulation of a ship and the important roles agents, pilots, regulatory agencies, insurance and laws play in enabling a ship to move from port to port.
Shipping 201 is the second course in the Shipping Education Series! Courses can be taken in any order, and are designed for both new and experienced Maritime industry professionals.
