Course Description
This advanced exploration of risk and resilience guides learners through the complex web of risks facing marine supply chains, from weather shocks and port disruptions to geopolitical instability and cyber threats. Learners explore emergency preparedness, resilience frameworks, contingency planning, and digital innovations—from AIS to blockchain—used to monitor and mitigate threats. Real-world disruption case studies and practical exercises prepare students to anticipate and respond to major crises, strengthening both organizational and industry-wide resilience in marine logistics.Course Outline
- Analyze key risk factors in marine supply chains: weather, geopolitics, strikes, and port failures
- Apply risk assessment frameworks to identify vulnerabilities in marine transportation and port logistics
- Navigate scenarios that simulate emergency responses to marine incidents (e.g., port closure, vessel grounding)
- Complete group projects on developing continuity and redundancy plans for shipping lines and ports
- Explore the role of digital technologies (AIS, blockchain, community port systems) in risk monitoring
- Review industry best practices in business continuity and recovery for marine operators
- Engage in case discussions of historical marine supply chain disruptions in Canada and globally
- Apply supply chain resilience metrics, monitoring, and continuous improvement in marine logistics
Learner Outcomes
- Identify and assess diverse risks faced by marine supply chains (natural, operational, technological, and geopolitical)
- Develop comprehensive strategies to strengthen resilience in marine transportation systems
- Analyze and extract lessons from real-world marine industry disruptions
- Recommend improvements to continuity planning for ports, shipping lines, and logistic providers
- Use digital innovation and monitoring tools to anticipate and mitigate emerging threats in marine logistics
- Formulate emergency preparedness and recovery plans for marine supply chain stakeholders
- Evaluate organizational and industry-wide resilience strategies for critical marine enterprises
- Apply risk management frameworks to the assessment and continuous improvement of marine supply chains
