General Management Courses

A course for lower mid level managers who are expected to ascend to upper mid level management. The course encompasses almost two weeks of hands on involvement and is limited to twenty four participants from our member’s companies.

The course is held in Europe and includes several port visits, lectures on relevant industry topics and working through and delivering a presentation on an industry related issue or challenge.

Senior Management Courses

A course for mid level managers who are expected to ascend to the Senior Executive level. The course encompasses nine days of intensive training in all aspects of leading a maritime enterprise. Topics covered include operations, finance, health and safety and mergers and acquisitions.

The course is limited to fifteen participants from our member companies and is held either in the United States or Europe.

Virtual Leadership Courses

A course for junior high potentials or lower mid-level managers expected to further grow in
the company structure. The target is to challenge them with disruptions typical in our
stevedoring industry and the way these are daily managed by specialists from within or
outside our GSC membership.

To date we have held 19 GM Courses, 9 SM Courses and 2 Virtual Leadership Courses with a total of 619 graduates.
A great network on itself.
