Bandari Maritime Academy (BMA) cadets undertaking Maritime Transport and Logistics Level 5 have visited the Mombasa Island Cargo Terminal (MICT) to gain practical exposure to port operations and understand how concepts learnt in the classroom are applied in the maritime industry.
During the visit, the cadets familiarized themselves with key terminal operations, including cargo handling, container loading and offloading, cargo documentation, warehousing, cargo storage, inventory management, freight forwarding and the coordination of cargo movement within the terminal.
The visit provided the cadets with an opportunity to observe the movement of goods through the port understand the roles of different stakeholders in cargo operations and appreciate the importance of efficient cargo management, safety and coordination in facilitating international trade.
The practical exposure enhanced their understanding of port and logistics operations, strengthened their industry knowledge and equipped them with valuable insights into the skills and competencies required for careers in the maritime transport and logistics sector.
