While industry talk swirls around big, bureaucratic organizations and trade shows raising flags that education is key to attracting an enhanced grade of executives into transportation, Albert Saphir (ABS Consulting) and Joe Espinosa (Florida Shipowners Group) are taking action. These two fine old hands at professional logistics (with track records of success and true ability to teach) are doing something as part of a private initiative to put business-driven logistics solutions within reach in warm, sunny Florida next month.
     The duo has put together yet another educational event (for the seventh time), holding a compact, well-planned, 2-day Maritime Logistics Training Course from October 12-13 at the Marriott Courtyard in Miramar, Florida.
     “Our sessions will be an intensive two-day deep-dive into international transportation and logistics, with a heavier focus on maritime/ocean transportation,” Mr. Saphir told FlyingTypers.
     “Our objective is to provide a complete overview and solid facts for entry-level individuals or others moving into a new area of responsibility, and sales people needing to learn more about the industry as a whole and key aspects of regulations.
     “Our Maritime Logistics Training Course is also a good refresher for those not involved in all areas of international transportation on a daily basis.
     “Registration cost is $750 (unchanged since the first event) including extensive handout materials (a +$100 value) and includes breakfast and lunch both days,” Mr. Saphir said.
     NCBFAA/NEI has approved this for 12.5 continued education credits for CCS/CES!
