Tanzania port managers to begin two-year training programme in November

UN Trade and Development and the Tanzania Ports Authority plan to open a new port management training cycle for 20 middle managers on 23 November. The first module covers international trade and maritime transport and is scheduled to run through 27 November.

The TrainForTrade programme notice lists Zanzibar for the first session. A separate UN event listing gives Dar es Salaam in its location field but also describes delivery of the first module in Zanzibar.

The 280-hour course has eight week-long modules over about two years. Managers are expected to complete a case study on a practical problem or opportunity in their port community and present it to a panel. The broader programme covers port operations, logistics, safety and environmental management.

The launch is the fourth training cycle for Tanzania’s port community. The UN listing names the Tanzania Ports Authority as co-organiser and identifies Irish Aid and the port authority as funding partners.
