The course aims at providing the basic concepts on maritime transport and logistic systems, with a particular focus on port operations.
In particular the course will provide the capability of modelling, simulating, and optimizing freights and people flows in ports considering both the sea-side and ground-side points of view.
Students will learn:
There are not specific prerequisites
Lectures consist of classes (60%) and laboratory activities (40%)
Working students and students with certified SLD (Specific Learning Disorders), disability or other special educational needs are advised to contact the teacher at the beginning of the course to agree on teaching and examination arrangements so to take into account individual learning patterns, while respecting the teaching objectives.
The course is articulated in three main topics:

The exam will consist of a practical activity on the simulations and an oral on theory.
Students with learning disorders ("Disturbi Specifici di Apprendimento", DSA) will be allowed to use specific modalities and supports that will be determined on a case-by-case basis in agreement with the delegate of the Engineering courses in the Committee for the Inclusion of Students with Disabilities.
