May 4-8, 2009 - European Port Inrastructure and Security Tour, Germany, Belgium and Italy

In Europe, as in other markets, a strong emphasis has been placed on homeland security, transportation, environmental safety and critical infrastructure development. The European Union has adopted rules regarding maritime safety and security to ensure quality shipping that respects the environment and guarantees an optimal level of protection. The major focus is on environmental impact, safety and security, and unification and simplification of procedures. This scenario will provide excellent opportunities for U.S. companies operating in a variety of areas. This event is intended to tap immediate opportunities in port infrastructure, security and logistics in several European countries, and will include 3 stops: Hamburg, Germany; Antwerp, Belgium and Genoa, Italy.
