Port Canaveral adds Nine to CPE CERTIFIED PORT EXECUTIVE™ Alumni 2014 | Print |

January 23, 2014 Port Canaveral, Florida.

Canaveral port Authority demonstrated their commitment to employee development recently by hosting the CPE Certified Port Executive™ Program. Thirteen alumni were added to the CPE CERTIFIED PORT EXECUTIVE™ Program. This course was unique in that the majority of the attendees were from Port Canaveral. They joined David Perley, Senior Director of Construction and Infrastructure, who graduated from the Miami course in May 2013. This is an excellent example of building a port management team that is working from a common frame of reference learning.

Port Canaveral first started as a cargo and vessel port for both the military and commercial use in 1953. It continued to develop strongly, and was able to successfully become one of the world’s leading cruise ship ports. Port Canaveral has an admirable history of adaptability that is becoming more valued in the evolving port and transportation industry. Their strong history clearly displays their dedication to professional development of the workforce.

By adding the CPE CERTIFIED PORT EXECUTIVE™ credentials to many of their managers, Port Canaveral is giving their managers the knowledge to individually make a more effective contribution to the organization, and to function more effectively as a team.

MacDonnell Group’s Partnership with Institut Maritime du Quebec (IMQ) moves towards Improved Security Training in Canadian Ports

QUEBEC – The Institut Maritime du Quebec (IMQ) in Rimouski, Quebec has signed a partnership agreement with the MacDonnell Group of Halifax, Nova Scotia. The agreement will allow both Institutions ™ to offer maritime security programs at the IMQ Facility to provide on demand, on-site training for the Quebec region. MacDonnell and IMQ programs have been developed in accordance with the International Ship and Port Security (ISPS) Code and the Transport Canada Marine Transport Security Regulations.

The agreement will allow the Institut Maritime du Quebec and MacDonnell Group to achieve port and maritime security training objectives by Canadian regulations for ports, vessels, and ferry operators while contributing to a standardization of a quality curriculum.

“We are very pleased our agreement with IMQ,” said Ralston MacDonnell, company president. “We have similar partnerships with Georgian College in Ontario and the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT). Partnerships like this help us all contribute to national training standards that make it easier for industry to meet security obligations.”

Port and maritime security has become a significant element of operations throughout the marine transportation sector. MacDonnell’s standardized security training programs allow port operators, shippers and regulators to develop employees who have a common base of knowledge. As the dominant port security training provider in North America, MacDonnell and training partners have invested in the most comprehensive and current curriculum for all maritime and port security regulations.  Well trained security personnel help reduce disruptions and increase efficiency in the supply chain.

“All training initiatives encouraging the improvement of maritime safety and security are always welcome” said Larbi Yahia Project Manager within IMQ.
