The World Association for Waterborne Transport Infrastructure
PIANC is the global organisation providing guidance and technical advice for a sustainable waterborne transport infrastructure to ports, marinas and waterways.
Established in 1885, PIANC is one the oldest technical Associations that has changed noticeably over the years, adapting to the respective contemporary requirements of issues pertaining to waterborne transport infrastructure. Some of the 21st century’s challenges involve sustainable development, climate change, the need for working with nature and digitalisation.
PIANC’s major events keep the international waterborne transport community connected: the PIANC World Congress, the PIANC-COPEDEC and the PIANC-SMART Rivers Conferences, and three regional events being the PIANC Mediterranean Days, the NordPIANC Meetings and PIANC Asia Pacific Conference (APAC).
