About The Course

Heavily influenced by international trade environments, the shipping industry is capital-intensive; comprising a vast network of closely interconnected stakeholders ranging from leasing banks, shipowners, ship operators, major commodities traders to ship builders, equipment providers. Whilst capital expenditure, operating cost, earning and revenue are immensely sensitive to numerous factors such as economic recessions, Covid-19 disruptions on demands & logistics, trade risks, charter income, fuel prices; the financial & accounting professionals require informed judgements to answer a range of complex questions.
