PIANC Australia & New Zealand

Bringing together experts on technical, economic, environmental and planning issues pertaining to waterborne transport infrastructure.

Established in 1885, PIANC is the leading global knowledge partner for governments and the private sector in the design, development and maintenance of ports, waterways and coastal areas. As a non-political and non-profit organisation, PIANC brings together the best international experts on technical, economic and environmental issues pertaining to waterborne transport infrastructures.

At the core of PIANC’s mission is the publication of high-quality Technical Reports produced by international Working Groups composed of expert participants from multiple member countries. Through our many conferences and events we bring people together in the ports and maritime communities for knowledge sharing, learning and networking.

PIANC Australia and New Zealand is one of the largest of the 28 recognised National Sections within PIANC International.
