ARTEMUS Transportation Solutions will partner with the Marine Exchange of Puget Sound to hold the Global Commerce- International Transportation & Trade Shipping 101 Course on March 23-27 in Seattle.
The five-day course covers materials needed to effectively trade and ship in the global marketplace, whether as an importer, exporter, NVOCC, Freight Forwarder, Ocean and/or Domestic carrier. The course covers the transportation chain, critical work processes, compliance requirements and different modes of transportation. The course includes an on-site visit to a marine terminal for a first-hand look on the topics discussed throughout the course.
"This is the third time we will be holding the course with Artemus," said John Veentjer, Executive Director, Marine Exchange of Puget Sound.
The Marine Exchange of Puget Sound is a nonprofit association that provides members certain communications and information services relative to local commercial vessel activities. Founded in 1981, members consist of Puget Sound-based steamship agents and operations, tug boat operators, ship chandlers, port authorities, and state and federal agencies.
"Having a partnership with the Marine Exchange provides us an opportunity to help educate those Pacific Northwest region, who want to trade or expand their business internationally or just increase their knowledge of the international trade business to provide better service or possibly advance a student's career objectives," said Steve Pniewski, President and CEO of Artemus. "This course provides critical work process information so that students are up-to-date on the ever-changing industry in areas such as regulations, compliance, systems, terminology and more.
The course is also eligible for credits. For continuing education students, participants will be eligible to receive 3.2 CEU from Old Dominion University post completion of the program. The course also carries 20 CCS/CES Credits through the National Customs House Brokers and Freight Forwarders Association.
