2nd GPF Executive Workshop on Master Planning For Ports Infrastructure, 6-8 Jan 25, Singapore. Exclusive. Intensive. Small Group.


Dear industry colleagues



Over the last four decades, the maritime industry has undergone major structural reforms, following an unprecedented growth in the world maritime trade. These reforms have led the national governments to implement port governance reforms. The reforms have resulted in a renewed role for the port authorities in the respective area / country / region.
Master Planning for Ports Infrastructure has emerged as an important and major area of focus for sustainable maritime infrastructure development for major nations. Port investments all over the world are always made on very long term basis.



Due to inherent long term nature of port projects, port master planning and integrated regional infrastructure development has always remained one of the main focus areas for Port Authorities, Investors, operators and all stakeholders of the ports communities and eco systems.
It is vitally important for everyone responsible and connected with infrastructure development to have a clear understanding about all aspects of master planning for infrastructure and marine developments. The Master Plan of the Port elaborates the reason of the existence of a port to the stakeholders involved.
