Delaware River 101 provides attendees with a comprehensive overview of our port as well as an entry point to the Delaware River maritime community.  Delaware River 102 takes a deeper look into specialized and unique port processes and covers other topics suggested by the port community.

The half-day sessions are designed to educate new hires, long-standing members of the port community who may be unfamiliar with activities outside their own organizations, and even industry veterans interested in delving further into port operations.  The program also benefits those only indirectly involved in the maritime industry, such as vendors and suppliers, who would like to learn more about our port and its commercial operations.

Delaware River 101 provides a high-level view of a broad range of topics—including port governance, geography, and economic impacts, pilotage, vessel agency, customs brokerage, terminal operations, tug/barge operations, maritime cybersecurity, federal maritime governance and enforcement, and more—all led by speakers who are experts in their fields.

Delaware River 102 explores the inner workings of the port. Topics vary based on participant suggestions and have included such subjects as labor and facility management, seafarer welfare, specific cargoes (such as automobiles, fruit, and oil), and intraport communications.
