Brandao Staff Training & Consultancy

Over the past 50 years, the container sector has experienced tremendous growth. Think of ultra-modern container terminals, for example. Existing terminals have evolved alongside this growth, investing in automation, new equipment, energy transition, and various other innovations needed to keep pace with the sector. Container ships are not only capable of carrying larger volumes due to their enormous size but also use alternative fuels. Shipbuilding for container vessels has changed significantly, and the list goes on.
For the many people working in this sector, this growth and change have become the norm. But is it really normal? Are we still aware of our working environment? Are container terminals still conscious of what terminal operators are facing? Does the new generation of terminal operators still understand how large and heavy everything is? Has the human behind the operator evolved alongside this extreme growth and development? Are container ports truly prepared for all these rapid and extreme changes?
With over 20 years of experience as a terminal operator, trainer, emergency responder, and maritime service provider, I know better than anyone what this sector needs—now and in the future.

Through Brandao Staff Training & Consultancy, I have developed various awareness training programs. These trainings are tailored to different target groups such as: terminal operators, external personnel at container terminals, maritime service providers, emergency services, warehouse staff—essentially anyone involved in the container sector. All trainings are fully customized to meet the needs of each specific audience.
