UNCTAD course on ports and maritime supply chain resilience

UNCTAD Course on "Ports and Maritime Supply Chain Resilience" contains six modules. The training material is supported by the accompanying multimedia lectures and suggested additional reading. It draws heavily on UNCTAD’s Guidebook on “Enhancing Capacity to Managing Risks: A Guidebook for Ports”, the Review of Maritime Transport, various issues, as well as relevant analytical reports and statistics in the field of transport and trade logistics.

 

UNCTAD's course on Ports and Maritime Supply Chain Resilience aims to help improve understanding of the key issues at the interface of maritime transport and resilience-building. With disruptions to transport and logistics occurring more frequently, it is crucial to build the capacity to anticipate, prepare, respond, and recover from risks and events disrupting the maritime supply chain.

The training will allow participants to:

  • Gain a general overview of the maritime supply chain and improve awareness of its strategic role in trade and development.
  • Understand the risks and disruptions facing the maritime supply chain, and their potential implications.
  • Become familiar with risk management and resilience concepts and learn what actions are required to better prepare and anticipate disruptions, manage risks, respond to disruptive events, and recover.
  • Develop the capacity to plan for emergency responses and to integrate risk management into relevant processes and plans.
  • Learn from others and their experiences and get acquainted with existing tools and instruments that can help manage risks and build resilience.

The COVID-19 pandemic is profoundly altering the manner in which individuals engage in work activities and go about their daily lives. The global supply chains are expected to experience significant disruptions, including through reductions in trade volumes, declines in foreign direct investment, lower consumer goods demand, a reduction in commodity prices, and general economic decline in particular for vulnerable developing countries.

ASYCUDAWorld COVID19 Survey

UNCTAD/ASYCUDA COVID-19 Customs Administration Survey

The fully automated environment provided by ASYCUDAWorld affords customs, cross-border agencies, and traders with the capacity to electronically submit and exchange data and documentation and computerize procedures. This enables the expediting of the clearance of imports, exports, transit trade, and other trade transactions, thereby greatly reducing the need for face-to-face interaction.
