HEAVY and oversize cargo specialists Beluga Shipping, will add its support to a course designed to fast-track project cargo management skills that would otherwise may take years to acquire, said a company statement.

Beluga will join the sponsors supporting the Certificate of Achievement in Project Cargo Management that will be offered during the education component of the 21st Annual Journal of Commerce Breakbulk Americas Transportation Conference & Exhibition at the George R Brown Convention Centre in Houston October 12-15.

Port Corpus Christi is also a sponsor of the training that will be run over two days from October 14-15 and is a joint venture initiative between the JoC Breakbulk Conferences (a division of UBM Global Trade) and international over dimensional 3PL network, Project Professionals Group.

Course trainer and the general manager of the Project Professionals Group, Kevin Stephens, said the support from the project forwarding industry was much appreciated and showed that they were committed to education and training that delivered a higher standard of handling services for clients.

"Understand how to manage multimodal project cargo is extremely challenging and up-skilling through practical training is in everybody's best interests to ensure the successful delivery of the cargo," Mr Stephens said.
