Efficient Port Operations and Logistics Management
Philippines has almost doubled its port capacities in the past
5 years but several ports remain underutilized and inefficient.
This has contributed to high costs of shipping coupled with
negative implications for the country’s competitiveness and
growth. This workshop will provide port operators and users
of Philippines Ports to improve operational efficiencies
through effective capacity utilization and logistics
management.
Workshop Outline:
• Workflow processes in ports
• Understanding the issues behind congestions and
bottlenecks
• Key operational challenges and overcoming them
• Case studies from other ports in the region
• Small group discussions on identifying problems and
implementing solutions on efficient port management.
