MarCom 135

Title: Design Principles for Container Terminals in Small and Medium Ports

MarCom Working Group 135, "Design principles for small and medium sized marine container terminals", held its 4th meeting in Oslo, Norway on 6-7 September. Group members coming from 7 countries including the UK, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Iceland and the US convened in the Oslo Port Authority offices to review the first draft report that was compiled. We went through the report chapter by chapter and discussed and re-arranged the contents and sections. The new structure will be included in a new draft that will be distributed amongst the active workgroup members. At the same time the workgroup members enjoyed a guided visit to the container terminals of the Port of Oslo. The next meeting is tentatively to be held in Paris/ Le Havre, France, on Thursday 5th and Friday 6th of May 2011.
