I found the Postgraduate Certificate in Shipping Decarbonization Strategies (Advanced) to be a well-structured and informative course. As someone working in the maritime industry in Egypt, I was keen to learn more about the global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from shipping. The course provided a comprehensive overview of the subject, covering topics such as carbon pricing, green shipping corridors, and the role of ports in decarbonization. While some of the course materials could be improved for better clarity, I appreciated the diversity of perspectives shared by the instructors and the opportunity to engage with fellow students from different backgrounds. One of the key takeaways for me was the importance of collaboration between stakeholders to achieve meaningful emissions reductions in the shipping sector. Overall, I'm glad I took the course, and I think it's a good starting point for anyone interested in this field.

I completed the Postgraduate Certificate in Shipping Decarbonization Strategies (Advanced) with a positive overall experience. The course content was detailed and covered a wide range of topics relevant to the decarbonization of shipping, from policy and regulation to technology and operational efficiency. As someone working in the shipping industry in Brazil, I found the course materials to be relevant and useful, especially in terms of understanding the global context and the role of emerging technologies like wind-assisted propulsion and hydrogen fuel cells. The instructors were knowledgeable and responsive to questions, and the online platform was user-friendly. One area for improvement could be more case studies or examples from the Latin American region, which would make the course even more relatable and applicable to our local challenges. Nonetheless, I would recommend this course to colleagues and peers looking to enhance their knowledge and skills in shipping decarbonization.
