Sea Freight Operations (SFO) is designed to give a full understanding of the sea freight forwarding business within the GAC World. The course will explore the ‘must-knows’ of sea freight forwarding operations across the GAC World, and how efficient and commercially-viable operations contribute to our bottom line.
