Connecticut Port Authority supports education of port leaders

On 10-14 September, the Connecticut Port Authority hosted the International Association of Maritime & Port Executives (IAMPE) Professional Certification Program, a weeklong course to train and update Maritime Port Managers (MPM) and Maritime Port Executives (MPE) on the latest information and resources available for managing ports and terminals.

The IAMP program is endorsed for academic credit by the Loeb-Sullivan School of International Business and Logistics at the Maine Maritime Academy, and credits are generally accepted for maintaining professional certification.

The course covers critical information for any MPE or MPM, including Port and Terminal Administration and Finance, Cargo Planning Processes, and Port and Terminal Safety and Security.

Our programs provide professional development opportunities for the current and future generations of port managers and executives. With over 2,000 members and trained professionals the CPA support of this program, along with the support of our other many port and association partners, will ensure we maintain a high standard of professionalism and expertise in our industry,

…said the Director of Education and Standards for IAMPE, Capt. Jeffery Monroe.
