   This study program was launched in collaboration with the Cyprus Maritime Academy, under the guidance of Dr. Yehuda Heimlich, a lecturer at the University of Haifa in a master’s program in port logistics and operations.
   
   In Israel today, many active ports are undergoing expansion due to the rising volume of goods transported by sea, with containers accounting for approximately 95% of total global cargo.
   
   These ports have advanced computerization and automation, utilizing sophisticated systems to streamline cargo unloading, as well as the entry and exit processes from the port.

All these operations require skilled and professional human resources.
