International trade is the basis of Maritime Transport. Without trade, there would be no demand for mobility, just as, without the need for goods and services, there would be no production. Moreover, according to the IMO, about 90% of the world's economic resources are moved by ships.

In view of this situation, this Postgraduate Diploma will focus on the particularities that characterize port infrastructures, on their evolution to adapt to the changing trends in the flow of goods, the different types of traffic, etc. On the other hand, it will analyze the latest technologies that incorporate the most advanced shipping systems, as a strategy to cope with the increasing demands of a globalized and highly competitive market.

In addition, they will delve into port governance, in which they have also observed a significant development, from a maximum interventionism of public authorities, to an absolute protagonism of private agents.

Finally, they will devote part of the agenda to the implication of climate change and ocean pollution in this ongoing transformation of the maritime sector. In fact, traditional planning instruments themselves are being modified, both in their conception and in their processing. Professionals will therefore be brought up to date on carbon sequestration, coastal protection, biodiversity conservation and waste management.

In summary, this program will provide students with a solid theoretical foundation and the ability to apply it in real situations, all thanks to the guidance and support of a teaching staff made up of experts with extensive professional experience. In this way, TECH makes available to graduates the innovative formula of Relearning, a revolutionary learning methodology that is based on the repetition of fundamental concepts, ensuring in this way an effective integration of knowledge.
