OAS Provides Support in the Training of Port Authorities in the Americas
October 26, 2012
The XVII Iberoamerican Course on Port Management, organized by the Inter-American Committee on Ports (CIP) of the Organization of American States (OAS) jointly with the Spanish Port System, took place from October 1st to October 26th, 2012 in Madrid and was attended by 20 experts from ten Member States of the Organization.
Among the main objectives of the training were to analyze the principal port development models that exist worldwide, with emphasis on Spain and Latin America, and to study the main elements and techniques of port management in Spain. The workshop focused on the study of efficiency and competitiveness required of modern ports, and their impact on economic, financial, commercial, and human resource factors.
At the Closing Ceremony of the conference, which was held today, the President of the Spanish Port System, Engineer José Llorca, as well as other local and national authorities in the field were present.
Through initiatives like this one, the Inter-American Committee on Ports contributes to the strengthening of human and technical capacities benefiting workers and officials at port administration authorities throughout the hemisphere.
The CIP is the highest government authority on ports of the permanent Inter-American forum and promotes the strengthening of dialogue, in addition to technical and institutional capabilities to further cooperation through public-private partnerships in the 34 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.
