Communication and marketing opportunities

Focused on all three prongs of port control — governance, management and operations, our robust communication and outreach strategies are dedicated to promoting the increased efficiency of ports and harbors.
As you develop your communication and marketing plans for the coming year, we invite you to learn more about opportunities to participate with the APP.
