The
Association of Pacific Ports is a trade and information association
founded in 1913 as the Association of Pacific and Far East Ports, for
the purpose of promoting increased efficiency and effectiveness of the
ports of the Pacific. The name, but not the objectives, was changed in
1934.
Programs of the Association of Pacific Ports are aimed at
enhancing the technical and governance expertise of commissioners and
other port officials through meetings, educational seminars and the
exchange of appropriate communications. These programs are also
pertinent to the needs of ports’ management and technical staff.
All
ports located in areas tributary to the Pacific Ocean are eligible to
join the Association of Pacific Ports. This web page provides
information about the member ports and associate members and also lists
the honorary life members. The Association of Pacific Ports
includes ports in American Samoa, British Columbia, California,
Guam, Hawaii, Mexico, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Oregon, Saipan, Taiwan, and Washington.
The
association provides an Annual Conference each August and a Mid-Year
Conference and Board Meeting each January. Other meetings and
seminars are hosted on specific topics. The “Pacific Current" newsletter is published monthly for APP members.
