Port authorities from across the Americas met this week in Washington to report on, analyze and assess the implementation of the 2012-2013 Work Program of the Executive Board of the Inter-American Committee on Ports (CECIP) of the Organization of American States (OAS).
The Third CECIP Work Session included a round table to encourage dialogue and cooperation between Member States and a visit to the Port of Baltimore. The meeting focused on the Work Program, which includes the Technical Advisory Groups’ work plans, as well as to establish next steps pursuant to the Lima Action Plan.
The meeting brought together port authorities from CECIP members Argentina, Colombia (Second Vice-chair), the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Peru (Chair), Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (First Vice-chair), the United States, Uruguay and Venezuela, as well as the OAS Executive Secretary for Integral Development, Jorge Saggiante; the U.S. Maritime Administrator, David Matsuda; experts Vicente del Río from Fundación Valenciaport; Mario Cordero from the U.S. Federal Maritime Commission; Bill Johnson from the Miami Port Authority; Lillian Almodovar PIANC USA, the United States national section of the World Association for Waterborne Transport Infrastructure (PIANC-USA); Michael Moss of the U.S. Coast Guard; and Kevin de Cuba of the OAS Department of Sustainable Development.
The Inter-American Committee on Ports (CIP) is the permanent Inter-American forum at the highest government level on ports, which promotes the strengthening of dialogue, technical and institutional capacities to further cooperation through public-private partnerships in the 34 OAS Member States of the OAS. The CIP was created in 1956 as the Inter-American Port Conference, and became the Inter-American Commission in 1998.
