IAMPE's flagship offering covering the necessary components of maritime port management including regulatory compliance, pricing & tariffs, operations, and strategic planning.

The MPM and MPE programs are offered back-to-back as a combined week-long seminar that covers all aspects of port management in-depth at an intense pace. This program is structured to provide port professionals with the knowledge they need to develop their port, and a network of contacts to develop their careers. 

MARITIME PORT MANAGER (MPM) ​

The seminar is focused on how port facilities operate as integral intermodal connections in the worldwide transportation industry. It provides employees new to the industry with a comprehensive look at the fundamentals of port management, and provides industry vets with a refresher of the global transportation system. Topics covered in the MPM program include an overview of the transportation industry, current global industry trends, port governance, port finance, port operations, safety and security, and more. The program also includes a management case study that applies port fundamentals to a real-world situation. The MPM program is a pre-requisite for the Maritime Port Executive program. Participants receive professional certification as a Maritime Port Manager (MPM) and 16 CEU credits. ​ ​
