The objective of this course is to convey the structural, operational, and strategic management principles of ports and terminals, which serve as the hubs of global trade and maritime logistics, to students. Within the scope of the course, it aims to provide students with the competence to define sectoral problems and develop solutions by examining the macroeconomic importance of ports, the management of vessel, yard, and CFS operations, port service units, and operational constraints encountered in ports within the framework of analytical and modern management approaches.
The content of the course begins with the core concepts of port and terminal management, functions of ports, and their strategic roles in global logistics networks. Accordingly, operational, legal, and infrastructural constraints encountered in ports, modern handling equipment used in terminal operations, and port service units are examined. Furthermore, berth and maritime operations management, yard operations, CFS (Container Freight Station) processes, and the coordination between internal and external port stakeholders are addressed through a holistic flow accompanied by contemporary case studies.
