Introduction
Gain ship bunkering operations and management expertise
Develop your expert knowledge on legal, technical, operational and commercial matters for bunker stakeholders
The Certificate in Bunkering Operations and Management is an important course for anyone involved with bunker fuel. It delivers an in-depth understanding of the industry, the way the market operates, commercial, technical and operational considerations, as well as how the industry is regulated.
As the only distance learning course covering bunkering and bunker management, this program helps students to keep updated with the latest advances in the field, including the IMO regulation calling for ships to reduce the maximum sulphur content of their fuels to 0.5 per cent, which will impact bunker operations.
