Permanent International Association of Navigation
Congresses (PIANC) is a global organization providing guidance for sustainable waterborne transport infrastructure for ports and waterways. It is
a forum where professionals around the world join
forces to provide expert advice on cost-effective,
reliable, and sustainable infrastructure to facilitate
the growth of waterborne transport. Established in
1885, PIANC continues to be a leading partner for
the government and private sector in the design, development, and maintenance of ports, waterways,
and coastal areas. As a nonpolitical and nonprofit
organization, PIANC brings together international
experts on technical, economic, and environmental
issues pertaining to waterborne transport infrastructure. Members include national governments
and public authorities, corporations, and interested
individuals. With expert guidance and technical
advice, PIANC provides guidance to public and private partners through high-quality technical reports.
Their international working groups develop regular technical updates on pressing global issues to
benefit members on shared best practices. PIANC
is headquartered at Bâtiment Graaf de Ferraris –
