Container-carrying capacity has increased by approximately 1,200% from 1,530 TEU (1968) to 19,000+ TEU (2014-2015) and continues to grow. Ports know that they have to adapt infrastructure to accommodate this, but how do they ensure that these projects are delivered on time and within budget? The Port Infrastructure Development event (1st – 3rd September 2015, Rotterdam) is where industry professionals will gather to discuss best practice planning, design, construction, delivery and asset management to manage costs and ensure maximum productivity. Attend this year's summit to hear from experts including: • Jens Erik Wegner, Landside Port Infrastructure, Port of Hamburg Authority • Einar Olsen, Port Director, Port of Drammen • Denis Healy, Deputy CEO and Manager Engineering Services, Port of Cork • Simon Brett, Head of Projects Humber, Associated British Ports • Nigel Bodell, Head of Port Development, Port of Dover • Bjarne Mathiesen, Senior Market Director Ports, Ramboll • Isabelle Ryckbost, Secretary General, European Sea Ports Organisation – ESPO Download the full agenda at www.pidevent.com

Dear Colleague,
As trade continues to grow, so does the volume
of container traffic and vessel size entering ports;
which is creating bottlenecks and wearing down
structures faster.
Quite simply, if the ports cannot expand their
infrastructure or extend the life of their structures,
they run the risk of losing out to competition and
negatively impacting operational productivity.
This is putting pressure on the port owners,
consulting engineers and contractors to adapt,
design and construct sustainable infrastructure
on time and within budget.
This year’s event will focus on how to:
 Assess the feasibility of expanding the port
 Plan, design and build on time and within budget
 Select the best delivery model for your project
 Maximise funding through best practice
maintenance planning and management
 Inspect, assess and monitor existing structures
 Select the right materials and manage corrosion
 Plan, design and manage intermodal facilities
 Demolish and remove existing infrastructure
Taking place at the hub of port development,
I look forward to seeing you in Rotterdam.
Kind regards,
Tonika Campbell
