| DESCRIPTION | This course welcomes students to postgraduate studies. It provides an introduction and overview of the port management and logistics program, by covering the basic definition and role of ports and port cities in a dynamic coastal environment, with shipping, port infrastructure and community, as well as its logistical aspect. It also introduces the basic English terminology for the port industry and relevant terminological resources for this specialised type of English. The course emphasises the socio-economic value of ports as hotbeds of economic activity and gateways for globalisation, but also in the context of the emerging issue of environmental contribution and sustainability considerations. Additionally, a brief introduction to regulatory framework (policies) is presented, while addressing current and future trends, especially digitalization and sustainable development.
