| Topic | Sub-topic |
| Lesson 2 | Maritime lecture part 1: Economic organization of the shipping market. This will be a based on Stopford (2006) |
| Lesson 3 | Maritime lecture part 2: Sub-markets & cash flow in shipping. Also this lecture will be based on Stopford (2006) |
| Lesson 1 | Main introduction lesson where the global maritime transport chain is explained. This chain will include, maritime part of the transport, ports and the hinterland transport. The main objective here is to show that a ship is part of a bigger transport chain. A model (which has been developed by me) can also be offered to the students to make some calculations. This could be part of the paper/ assignment. |
| Lesson 4 | Port lecture part 1: The organization of ports. What are ports, how do they function |
| Lesson 5 | Port lecture part 2: The organization of ports. What are ports, how do they function, and what is the interaction with ships (bunkerings and provision of alternative fuels). |
| Lesson 6 | Hinterland lecture part 1: Port hinterland transport. In this lecture is explained how cargo being shipped from ports to the hinterland and which transport modes can be used (road, rail, IWT). |
| Lesson 7 | Hinterland lecture part 2: Modal choice, intermodal transport and hinterland infrastructure. |
| Lesson 8 | Emission mitigation in maritime transport chains and the impact it has on both shippers and vessel owners. This course can include: A short introduction in the propulsion system of a vessel, Investments in new (retofitable) technologies in deepsea vessels due to legislation, Impact of the Environmental Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) of deepsea vessels on CO2 emissions, Impact of the Emission Control Area at the North Sea on port competition, Impact of the internalization of external cost on port competition. |

| Methodologies |
| Methodologies | Description |
| Guest lecture / keynote speech | Oral presentation complemented with the use of audiovisual media and the introduction of some questions aimed at students, in order to transmit knowledge and facilitate learning |
| Supervised projects | Supervised learning process aimed at helping students to work independently in a range of contexts (academic and professional). Focused primarily on learning ‘how to do things’ and on encouraging students to become responsible for their own learning. |
| Mixed objective/subjective test | Written test used for the assessment of learning, whose distinctive feature is the ability to determine whether or not the answers given are correct. It is a rigorously developed measuring instrument that allows to assess knowledge, abilities, skills, performance, aptitudes, attitudes, etc. |

To help in achieving a sustainable environment and to get the objective of number 5 action of the "Ferrol Green Campus Action Plan" (Healthy and environmentaly and socially sustainable research and teaching): The assignments to be done in this course: - Will be required in digital format. - Will be delivered using Moodle, with no need to print them. In case it is necessary to print them: - Plastics won´t be used. - Two side printing will be used. - Recycled paper will be used. - Printing drafts will be avoided. A sustainable use of the resources should be done, together with the prevention of negative impacts on the environment. |
