Strategic Port Policy Governance and Stakeholders Management

---

Strategic Port Policy, Governance and Stakeholders Management Course

There is now a growing dynamic policy,  governance and stakeholders’ management interests in the port industry  that has created an aggressive challenge to performance, productivity  and efficiency. This movement is characteristically manifest in  strategies such as concession, private-public participation and other  vested interests in port ownership, control, transparency and  accountability. These new initiatives in the structure of ports have  resulted in rapid reforms as a response to local interests consequent  global challenges.

Privatisation and liberalisation are  altering the traditional models of port governance, ownership and  management. These radical changes have brought regulatory policy  complexities, misapplication and continued policy review in which each  party to the agreement endeavours to protect its interest whilst  striving to profit from it only to end up more confused. The pressure of  stakeholders on port concession is enormous therefore to manage them by  good governance is the beginning of achieving policy objectives. In  this light, this programme is the main solution.
