Continuous Professional Development

Posted on Thursday, July 4, 2024

19TH JUNE CPD SESSION BY SURESH SETHURAMAN

The ICS Middle East launched the new Continuous Professional Development series with a presentation on RoRo business by Mr. Suresh Sethuraman of GAC-Dubai.  Through the CPD sessions members with expertise and experience in various segments of the shipping industry share their knowledge with other members.

Suresh, with his extensive experience in the business, lucidly explained the types of RoRo ships, their specialities and the types of cargoes carried by the RoRo ships. Even the participants who were familiar with the RoRo trade found the presentation very interesting.

 

25TH JULY CPD SESSION BY SHOBA RAO

The second webinar in the ICS- Middle East Silver Jubilee Continuous Professional Development series was presented by Ms. Shoba Rao, General Manager - RHS (Cruise Division) and a Fellow of the Middle East Branch.

Ms. Shoba made an interesting presentation on the Cruise Industry: the various types of cruise ships, facilities and amenities onboard, types of services and the agent's challenges. Apart from the Members of the Middle East Branch, Mr. Norman Lopez and Ms. Karlie Cavanagh of the Australia and New Zealand Branch attended the session and actively participated in the discussions. The finer aspects of the cruise industry is alien to many of the ICS members and the session definitely helped in the participants gaining insights in to the industry and the practical challenges of a port agent attending to cruise ships
