The Prime Shipping and Logistics Group is based in the School of Engineering at Newcastle University. Our internationally oriented research and teaching focuses on all aspects of shipping and logistics, with a particular focus on finding solutions to todays key sustainability challenges. Our group is named in memory of our kind benefactor the late John Prime (pictured seated below), publisher of Fairplay magazine, and is currently home to 3 PhD researchers, visiting researchers and also hosts the highly successful MSc in Shipping and Logistics (formerly known as the MSc in Marine Transport Management) which each year attracts students from countries all over the world (one of our recent year groups pictured below right on a visit to the Port of Tyne).
