World Maritime Trade has grown from 2,605 Million MT in 1970 to 10,047 Million MT in 2015, an increase of about 400% in 4.5 decades. Maritime industry across the world has undergone massive structural reforms during this period, in continuous endeavour to effectively and efficiently cater to the need for transportation of seaborne trade. From general cargo vessels, the ships have changed to specialized cargo specific tonnage and from smaller to larger size vessels for economies of scale. Ports and Terminals infrastructure has undergone simultaneous transformation in line with servicing the requirement of type and size of ships being deployed for the trade. In present age of information explosion, well informed customers, keep raising service expectations from their logistics and maritime service providers; benchmark of service standards continuously keep rising along with Value Migration by the customers. Disruptive technological advancement has become the order of the day for sustainability in a competitive environment. Leading Maritime service providers are again trying to adopt integrated approach combining shipping, ports and terminals and hinterland logistics as single point service to get closer to customers; simultaneously adopting technologies like Blockchain. These developments and further advancements in technology, safety and security norms, standards operating procedures are posing a number of challenges to the Managements in Ports and Terminal Industries. Ports and Terminals need to keep themselves updated with the best practice in master planning; attractive legal, policy, financial and commercial framework; construction and project management; operational norms and performance parameters benchmarking with global standards as well as on-going practice of delivering best value for money to the customers. Leading Port and Terminal organizations with futuristic vision and foresight, support manpower development by relevant training in order to prepare their own personnel to face challenges caused by high paced transformation and to make the key managers “future – ready”. The latest launch of Certified Global Port Manager (CGPM) Program by Global Ports Forum is a major initiative to support Training and Development functionaries of leading Ports and Terminals in their endeavours to develop core competence among their key managers. What is CGPM The CGPM Program is similar to Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) program for the financial sector. CGPM will be used as a benchmark standard for mapping competence and measuring capabilities for Port and Terminal management functions among identified key managers. CGPM award will be an accreditation to the managers undergoing the program with due recognition to their capabilities. CGPM is a new professional qualification on Ports and Terminals management. Advantages of CGPM CGPM is an international benchmark of excellence that will be awarded to selected Ports and Terminals managers which will make the CGPM qualified managers stand out among the others. Top management will identify CGPM managers as those with competence with significant experience, skills and knowledge in Ports and Terminals management. CGPM provides foundation for a sound and prospective career in Ports and Terminals management and thus acts an incentive for leaders and performers in the Ports / Terminal organizations. Process of CGPM award CGPM program is governed by a Qualification Review Board (QRB) which comprises leading international experts from Ports and Terminals industry and academicians.
