The International Air Transport Association (IATA) urged governments to support the vital role aviation plays in connecting people and commerce around the globe. "Our world has grown much wealthier through trade and travel. Air travel liberates people to live better lives and makes our world a better place," said Alexandre de Juniac, IATA’s Director General and CEO. In the US, the aviation sector contributes $680.1 billion dollars to GDP and supports 6.2 million jobs. "Aviation is the business of freedom and we must continue to work together to make it so," said de Juniac.
Geneva - The International Air Transport Association (IATA) and the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) have unveiled plans for a distance-based learning program aimed specifically at those working in the air transport sector whose responsibilities include any aspect of insurance.
Candidates will work towards the Diploma in Insurance, an internationally-recognized qualification delivered by the CII, which will be enhanced by a dedicated airline transport procurement module developed by IATA.
Available now, this learning pathway will be of significant interest to a broad range of organizations, including airlines, ground-handlers, airport authorities and all those working in air transport.
"This collaboration is about raising standards and developing career paths across the sector. Air transport is one of the world's most important industries, and insurance plays a vitally important role within it," said Guido Gianasso, IATA's Vice President, Human Capital.
For the IATA/CII initiative, three compulsory CII units will provide candidates with essential coverage of aviation insurance:
* Insurance law
* Insurance business and finance
* Aviation and space insurance.
Entrants will also select two from the following four CII units (and complete the IATA transport procurement module):
* Cargo and goods in transit insurance
* Commercial property and business interruption
* Liability insurance
* Risk management.
Upon completion, the CII will award the Diploma in Insurance while IATA will recognize the proficiency in the procurement area.
Holders of the Diploma in Insurance can progress to the CII Advanced Diploma in Insurance, using the credits acquired at Diploma level against the required total for the Advanced Diploma qualification. Those qualified at Advanced Diploma level can apply to become Chartered, the recognized mark of professional status.

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam – On 22nd May 2012 Cai Mep International Terminal (CMIT) set two important new productivity benchmarks for container terminals in Vietnam.
While handling Maersk Line’s vessel, the 116,100 DWT, 9,038 TEU MV Mette Maersk, CMIT handled 2,100 containers during an 11 hour, 30 minute port stay. Gross crane productivity was 43 container moves per hour, resulting in berth productivity of 183 moves per hour.
“This is certainly the first time CMIT has crossed the important benchmark of 40 crane moves per hour, and we believe we are the first container terminal in Vietnam to have done so”, commented Steen Davidsen, CMIT’s General Director. “We also believe our berth productivity of 183 moves per hour using just 5 Ship-To-Shore cranes sets a new benchmark for Vietnam” he added.
CMIT measures berth productivity based on the total time the vessel is available for work on the berth starting from the time the gangway is secured and ending upon time of vessel sailing or half an hour after operational completion should the vessel not sail immediately upon completion. Time is never deducted from this berth productivity calculation so CMIT’s berth productivity is a true reflection of the time the vessel spends working at the terminal.
“Terminal berth productivity is a critical cost driver for all shipping lines, and high berth productivity translates directly into significant bunker cost savings for us”, commented Peter Smidt-Nielsen, General Director of Maersk Line, Vietnam. “Achieving the levels of productivity being delivered to Maersk Line by CMIT is quite remarkable – and particularly so for a terminal that has been operational for just fourteen months. We are delighted and offer our warmest congratulations to the operational team at CMIT” he added.
CMIT handled its first vessel on March 30, 2011 and since that time has welcomed 151 vessel calls, handling over 351,000 TEU of export and import containers to and from Vietnam’s major trading partners in Europe, North America and Asia.
