In this ecosystem, shipping and chartering orchestrate the choice of vessels, routes, contracts, and document management. <strong>The demand for immediately operational skills is exploding<\/strong> among shipowners, consignees, port authorities, freight forwarders, and logistics operators serving Gabon, Cameroon, C\u00f4te d'Ivoire, Senegal, DRC, Congo, as well as international flows. Mastering the charter party, bill of lading, maritime Incoterms, freight calculation, and dispute resolution has become strategic to secure costs, timelines, safety, and IMO compliance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The UNIVGA method combines flexibility and rigor<\/strong> : 100% online, asynchronous, 5\u20138 hours\/week, with pedagogical support and real case studies from transport operators, port authorities, and African companies. Practical projects cover chartering arrangements, port call preparation, issuance\/control of bills of lading, laytime calculation, and demurrage, as well as arbitration simulations. <strong>The program is aligned with IMO\/BIMCO standards<\/strong> (regulations, ISPS security, ISM, MARPOL; BIMCO clauses, LMAA), and utilizes professional tools (laytime calculators, voyage estimators, eBL, Incoterms matrices). You benefit from a <strong>certifying training UNIVGA<\/strong>, demanding, contextualized to the African field and directly transferable to operations, at the port call, at the dock, and in the agency.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A measurable professional impact<\/strong> : increase your attractiveness to transport companies, port and airport authorities, shipowners, consignees, freight forwarders, airlines, and 3PL\/4PL. Strengthen your ability to negotiate charters, secure documents (bill of lading\/eBL), optimize freight, and defend your interests in case of disputes or arbitration. The skills acquired apply to terminals, shipping agencies, port call control centers, and operational services. <strong>The UNIVGA Professional Certificate enhances your transport CV<\/strong> by certifying operational mastery in line with IMO\/BIMCO, and facilitates career advancements (charterer, shipbroker, port agent, fleet manager) or freelance activities. A concrete asset to perform quickly in African and international shipping.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Become operational in shipping and chartering in the African transport market.
