About the Course
Ports depend on complex assets such as cranes, cargo-handling equipment, conveyors, terminal operating systems, warehouses, vehicles, marine infrastructure, power systems, and security equipment. Effective asset management and maintenance are therefore essential for reducing downtime, controlling operating costs, improving safety, and maintaining efficient cargo flows.This course provides a practical framework for managing port assets throughout their lifecycle—from asset planning, acquisition, commissioning, and operation to maintenance, renewal, replacement, and disposal. Participants will explore preventive, predictive, condition-based, and reliability-centred maintenance approaches while learning how to use asset performance data to support better operational and investment decisions.
