| Aim of the course: | The aim of the programme is to introduce the applicant to the environmental impacts of shipping and port activities and their management. In addition to enable the applicant to acquire basic knowledge of the application of environmental topics in the strategic planning and communication of a shipping company. Furthermore, the aim is to understand algorithmic foundations of computer systems through mastering a general purpose programming language (Python for this course) and to develop an awareness of cyber security risks in industrial environments and in particular in the maritime context In addition, the goal is to provide opportunities for the student to understand the concepts of Internet of Things systems used in marine technology and robotics and to give the student the opportunity to participate in a tutored group project on a data science and monitoring and evaluating the performance of IoT systems, which will be carried out in an applicative context related to maritime technology. |
| Target group: | Policy makers who are seeking to understand and implement sustainable solutions in maritime industry; industry leaders who want to drive sustainable initiatives within their organisations, maritime professionals who are working in the field and want to develop their experiences with new knowledges from the field; researchers and academics who are studying the maritime industry and want to gain valuable knowledge to upgrade their expertise. Possible target groups: Ministry of Climate, Estonian Transport Administration, ports of Tallinn, Pärnu, Kunda, Sillamäe, Paldiski Northern and other smaller ports; private maritime companies - shipping agents, expeditors, stevedores, shipowners; associations etc |
