About FEPORT

Core activities

Internal Organization

General Assembly

Is the central body which validates the strategic roadmap and agenda for action on the basis of the recommendations made by The Board of Directors. It ratifies all important (statutory) decisions taken by the Federation.

Board of Directors

Discusses upon FEPORT’s agenda for Action which outlines overarching priorities over the coming year(s).
Besides, it also acts as a ‘point group’ on FEPORT’s EU’s advocacy and ensures that it is properly coordinated for maximum effect.

Committees

Are the expert and policy coordinating bodies of FEPORT once the technical work has been done. They are central to the process of ensuring mutually acceptable policy positions.

The chairs of the Committees report to The Board of Directors and submit recommendations about policy position papers.

The five standing Committees are:

Port Policy Committee
Safety, Environment and Security Committee
Social Affairs Committee
Customs Committee
Budget and Audit Committee

Working groups and ad hoc groups

Task force

Is a temporary grouping for the purpose of accomplishing a definite objective.
