The global demand for Australian resources is ever increasing and production is increasing along with it. The Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics (ABARE) forecast that export volumes would increase by two-thirds in the years leading up to 2015.* To meet this demand Australia is investing heavily into marine infrastructure. Projects are being planned and implemented around wharf and port upgrades, marine asset management and maintenance, port and traffic intermodal co-ordination systems, terminal management systems and much more.

IQPC’s Coasts and Marine Structures 2011 has been developed as a value creation forum where knowledge, new ideas, best practice and real world learning experiences can be shared within the maritime industry. Over sixteen industry experts will be sharing their targeted knowledge through case study explanations and topical issue discussions. This combined with the networking opportunities available makes this a must attend event.
