Ports Seminar Mission to Vietnam and Indonesia

What are the Opportunities?

This is an important mission to key growth areas in Asia. In Vietnam, the Ports Master Plan has been approved by the government requiring investment of £10bn in the next 10 years. The lack of modern port facilities is a threat to Vietnam’s growth, and the port capacity needs to double in the next 10 years. In Indonesia, the Shipping Law, passed in 2008, removes state monopoly enabling participation by the private sector in port activities. Indonesia has 25 key commercial ports within the archipelago with others serving individual industries. The development of a National Port Masterplan and Individual Port Masterplans are a critical part of the future strategy.

This Mission provides a unique opportunity to showcase the UK’s expertise in the ports sector to Agencies, Government and local companies through an organised programme of events with the potential for individual follow up.

Who should attend?

The mission is open to all companies offering products and services in all areas of the development and management of ports including:

Port Management Security Education and Training Legal Services
Project Management Cost Management Design Services
