Two logistics fellows recently had the opportunity to observe large-scale port operations, providing them with a deeper understanding of how cargo and equipment are moved efficiently across global supply chains.
The visit offered a ground-level perspective on the coordination required among various players in logistics—from operational planners to ground crews and vessel staff—ensuring that shipments are executed seamlessly. The experience highlighted how precision, timing, and communication remain at the core of successful cargo movements.
Both fellows noted that the exercise was a valuable extension of their classroom training, providing real-world exposure to the scale and complexity of logistics. Observing the integration of planning tools such as stow plans, spreadsheets, and on-site coordination gave them insight into the level of detail needed to manage such operations.
The program emphasized how collaboration across multiple stakeholders—whether in planning, loading, or vessel operations—plays a key role in strengthening supply chain resilience. The fellows came away with a broader view of how decisions made in logistics management impact overall efficiency and interconnected operations worldwide.
