Aims
This module introduces students with a non-maritime background to the fundamentals of ship design and construction and the suitability of specific ship types for different cargoes and trades. It provides essential subject knowledge to underpin more advanced modules on the programme related to maritime economics, law and the complex nature of the carriage of goods by sea.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Evaluate the influence of global commercial geography on major world cargoes and their importance in shipping markets.
2.
Assess ship design and construction and the suitability of specific ship types for different cargoes and trades.
3.
Relate the key roles of the main practitioners in shipping business to key industry functions.
4.
Analyse the regulatory environment of the maritime industry, sources of law/regulation, responsibilities and liability.
