2020 was a turbulent year for the global economy in general and in sea transportation in particular. Asian exporters encountered difficulties such as ships not running on schedule and congested ports in Europe and America leading to delayed deliveries, lack of space, lack of containers, and skyrocketing rates. Entering the year 2021, the prospects for the picture of shipping will be a great concern of global importers and exporters.
On April 18, 2021, the Department of International Business in collaboration with the Vietnam Logistics and Aviation School successfully organized the final project of module FD2: Sea Transport for students K23-CLC. As part of the module, students will complete a project on solutions to provide logistics services to businesses or via simulation in English.
