The program includes guided terminal visits, industry presentations, operational briefings, and ship tours, allowing participants to explore aspects of terminal management, passenger flow, port infrastructure, maritime technology, and security. Mehmet Kutman, chairman and CEO of GPH, highlighted the program as a commitment to the future of maritime careers.
