The beautiful city of Porto at the River Douro

This year, it was the Portuguese Section’s turn to organise PIANC’s Annual General Assembly in the beautiful city of Porto in Portugal on May 19, 2015. And we may say it was again a very successful edition! Besides a smooth organisation of all the meetings, the technical visits and the ladies programme were also very well organised. PIANC would like to thank the Portuguese Section for its efforts and very smooth organisation of all events.

 

 

As usual, this issue of ‘Sailing Ahead’ gives you an overview of what was discussed during the AGA, as well as a traditional update on what is happening within the PIANC Community! With a whole gamut of international activities, PIANC has got many interesting events to look forward to! Enjoy reading ‘Sailing Ahead’ and find out more about our upcoming events!
