Hemispheric cooperation for competitive, secure, sustainable and inclusive ports in the Americas.

Technical Advisory Groups (TAGs)

CIP Member States have created Technical Advisory Groups (TAGs) according to the following six priority areas:

  1. Logistics, Innovation and Competitiveness
  2. Port Protection and Security
  3. Sustainable Port Management and Environmental Protection
  4. Public Policy, Legislation and Regulation
  5. Waterways, Inland and Cruise Ports
  6. Port-City Relation, Social Responsibility and Gender Equality

The CIP Executive Board (CECIP) is comprised by National Port Authorities of different Member States, as follows: one Chair and two Vice-Chairs; one Chair and one Vice-Chair for each one of the six TAGs, as can be seen in the organization chart to the right.

The TAGs primary objective is to provide technical advice to the Committee on specific aspects of port development and to execute the objectives contained in the CIP's biannual Plan of Action. The CIP, at its regular meetings, may establish the TAGs it deems necessary to fulfill its objectives. TAGs are made up by all Member States as well as Associate Members, including private sector firms and NGOs.
