Within the educational framework of the MSc in Shipping Management for the academic year 2024-2025, we were privileged to attend Mr. Paraskevopoulos of the American Bureau of Shipping, ABS Piraeus – Academy who lectures on ISM/ISPS/MLC and DPA issues.
The 5-day specialisation course is exclusively designed for our M.Sc in Shipping Management Program and includes both theoretical training and practical approach. It meticulously covers the content of the ISM Code and its interpretation, the risk management principles and management systems that underpin the ISM Code, and the principles and current practices that are used in internal auditing as well major issues of Risk taking and the role of th DPA. Case studies and team discussions were employed to clearly present the meaning of those issues to participating attendees, all students or graduates from M.Sc. in Shipping Management Program.
ABS Academy is among the IACS Members that continually support our activities over the years and their valuable contribution to the MSc in Shipping Management curriculum is greatly acknowledged.
