The Diploma in Shipping and Logistics (Shore-based) at DUT equips graduates for careers in South Africa's maritime and logistics sectors without requiring seagoing service. Located in Durban, one of Africa's largest container ports, the programme covers shipping operations, economics, statistics, and logistics management — skills directly applicable to port agency, stevedoring, clearing and forwarding, warehousing, project management, and terminal management. South Africa's strategic position in sub-Saharan African trade routes makes logistics and shipping skills highly sought after.
