Introduction to Shipping
Marine transportation powers international trade. It moves everything — from raw materials to consumer goods — across global supply chains. As smooth as that movement may seem, there’s a vast network of systems, roles, and regulations behind it.
Our Introduction to Shipping course helps you explore that network by breaking down each phase of shipping. You’ll learn how cargo moves across international waters, how commercial agreements are structured, and how regulation and safety standards are enforced. This course is your starting point for gaining the knowledge you need to grow in marine transportation.
