In this context, the<strong>shipping agent<\/strong> ensures the local representation of the shipowner, orchestrates the port call, secures regulatory compliance, and guarantees operational performance at the dock. With increasing flows on the Atlantic and Indian Ocean, the demand for professionals capable of preparing, monitoring, and closing port calls in compliance with international standards continues to grow. Shipping companies, port authorities, and logistics operators are looking for immediately employable profiles, mastering procedures, documents, and digital tools of the maritime agency in places like Libreville\/Owendo, Douala, Pointe-Noire, Abidjan, San Pedro, Dakar, or Kribi.<\/p>\n<p>The UNIVGA method is <strong>100% online, asynchronous<\/strong>, with a recommended pace of <strong>5\u20138 hours\/week<\/strong> and pedagogical support. You will work on <strong>real case studies<\/strong> transport operators, ports, companies, and African airports: preparation of port calls, requests for nautical services, management of FAL formalities, preparation of Statement of Facts (SoF), Notice of Readiness (NOR), Disbursement Account (DA), and use of Port Community Systems. The course is aligned with the <strong>IMO \/ FONASBA framework<\/strong>, with practical situations and projects leading to a portfolio of professional deliverables. Competency-based assessment and UNIVGA's academic quality ensure a recognized certification that is immediately applicable in the field.<\/p>\n<p>At the end, you will be ready to take on roles in shipping, port agency, port operations, and logistics. The certificate enhances your chances of <strong>recruitment<\/strong> by transport companies, <strong>port and airport authorities<\/strong>, shipowners, shipping agents, freight forwarders, airlines, and logistics operators. It also opens up opportunities in <strong>freelance<\/strong> (shipowner assistance, local representation, coordination of port calls) in African and international port locations. On a transport-oriented CV, the <strong>Professional Certificate UNIVGA<\/strong> values operational skills: coordination of port calls, ship\/crew formalities, relations with authorities, document management, and service billing. You will be able to communicate effectively with the harbor master, terminal, customs, PFSO, and crew, manage port call risks, and secure operational performance for the benefit of shipowners and shippers.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Become operational in ship agency and maritime agency to boost your employability in African transport and logistics.
