International associations of cargo handling and dredging companies join WPSP

Founding Partners AAPA, AIVP, ESPO, PIANC and IAPH were joined in Antwerp last Thursday by representatives of the International Cargo Handling Co-ordination Association (ICHCA) and the International Association of Dredging Companies (IADC) to sign the World Sustainability Ports Program Declaration, which sets out the foundations of the Program. Through the Declaration, partner organisations endorse the UN Sustainable Development Goals, confirm their commitment to contribute to the Goals and endorse the mission and objectives of the World Ports Sustainability Program. The Declaration is open for signature to other international port-related associations. Signature is a condition to join WPSP as a structural partner.
