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. Today, Master planning has evolved around following variables: • Land Use and organization • Economic Development Strategies • Transports and Intermodal Development • Environment Challenges and Management • Education, Governance and Project Management This three Days’ Executive Workshop on Master planning will cover the above aspects in different modules from objectives & goals to the full development / execution and implementation of Ports Master Plan with the following learning objectives. Learning Objectives • Developing long term vision to plan long gestation port projects • Learn strategic focus in ports master planning • Incorporating risk analysis and risk mitigation measures in master plans. • Futuristic value based intermodal systems master plans • Understand legal aspects through concession terms to be incorporated in master plan. • Analyse trade flow and pattern – past, present and future for the life of the project. • Evaluate techno-commercial and financial feasibility to be covered in master plan • Development of technologies, their impact on port operations and master plan • Financial modelling and sensitivity analysis of the port master plan Methodology Combination of class-room training, interactive sessions, group case studies will be used. Advance reading material will be provided by e-mail to the participants. Case studies from leading ports – dry and liquid bulk and container terminals will be extensively used for practical understanding of the participants. Who should attend: Senior and middle level leaders from Port Authorities, Investors, Ports & Terminal Operators, 3PL/4PL Intermodal service providers. Cross functional teams from marketing, financial, operational and project management can derive the best value from the workshop.
