Conference Theme: Opportunities of ASEAN Integration

The road to ASEAN integration is paved with opportunities and challenges for INAP members
either as individual ports or as a collective body. As the ten ASEAN countries prepare for the free
flow of goods and services, the INAP community has to ready itself as well perhaps even
readjust its sails to ride and navigate through the coming winds of change.
As we all know, regional integration is expected
not only to boost investments, job creation, and
incomes across the region; but also to level the
playing field among ASEAN industries, including
our own.

To ensure, therefore, that the opportunities and
benefits of an ASEAN community redound to and
are shared among INAP member ports, it is
imperative for us to improve our ports in terms of
operations, facilities, and services.
In other words, we will have to become even more competitive than ever before and raise the bar
for port innovation, quality, and productivity, if we are to compete and thrive successfully under the
new trade regime.

About the Host

The Port of Subic is a major seaport in the Philippines
and South East Asia. Located about southwest of
Luzon Island and about 100 kilometers northwest of
Manila Bay, it has a deep natural harbor with an
excellent and sheltered anchorage, naturally protecting
it from typhoons. This same feature further sharpens its
competitive edge for deep sea, short sea and inland
shipping.
This Philippine port of strategic and historic significance covers a total of 41 hectares with 15 operational
piers and wharves, which include a bulk fertilizer terminal, a bulk grains terminal, a general cargo terminal,
and a passenger/cruise ship terminal, as well as shipbuilding and ship repair facilities.

In addition to port facilities that can handle all kinds of sea vessels, including Panamax Class container
vessels, the Port of Subic also has two modern container terminals, which are among the most beautiful
and technologically advanced container terminals in the Philippines, with a total handling capacity of
600,000 TEUs per annum.

The Port of Subic is definitely an ideal logistics and transshipment hub, as its strategic location along major
sea lanes makes it easily accessible to regional markets and international shipping ports. At the same time,
storage warehouses, as well as cargo handling service providers, shipping agencies, and forwarders, are
conveniently located within the pier area.

Aside from the great commercial value of the Port of Subic, its deep blue waters provide a perfect backdrop
to the entire Subic Bay Freeport both as a vital port and investment site and as an attractive tourism haven.

About the Venue

Subic Bay Freeport is known as the Premier
Convention Capital of Central Luzon.

No less than then Philippine President Fidel V. Ramos
saw Subic Bays great potential as an ideal destination
for Meetings / Incentives / Conventions / Exhibitions
(MICE) when he gathered in Subic Bay 18 heads of
government from all over Asia and the Pacific for the
1996 APEC Economic Leaders Meeting.

Today Subic Bay squarely measures up to this
expectation, especially with the opening of the Subic
Bay Convention and Exhibition Center (SBECC) where
the 16
th
INAP Conference and Symposium will be held
in November.

ABOUT INAP
16 Years of Cooperation and Linkages

What is now known as the International Network of
Affiliated Ports (INAP) began as an idea 16 years ago
when M.H.M. Ashraff, then Sri Lankas Minister of Ports
Development, Rehabilitation and Reconstruction, proposed
that an opportunity be created for all affiliate ports to meet
regularly to discuss matters of mutual interest.
Thus, in March 1998, representatives of various ports gathered for the opening of the newest port in
Japan, the Port of Kochi. Then Kochi governor Daijiro Hashimoto, who hosted the gathering, thought that
the idea of Minister Ashraff of Sri Lanka was a splendid concept, and spoke of the new role ports could
play in bringing peoples together with the objective of establishing global peace and interaction.

The idea caught on, and soon there was a general consensus to schedule the first international meeting.

Ten months later, on November 17 -19, 1998, the Sri Lanka Ports Authority hosted an international
symposium at the Port of Colombo with the theme, Global Peace through Sister Ports. The convention
was joined by four (4) other ports with sister-port agreements with either Kochi or Colombo. These were
the Port of Subic in the Philippines, the Port of Tanjung Perak in Indonesia, the Port of Qingdao in the
Peoples Republic of China, and the Port of New Orleans in the United States.

ABOUT INAP
16 Years of Cooperation and Linkages
(continued)

In this symposium, Kochis Hashimoto delivered a keynote
address, wherein he proposed a Port Network Alliance
based on cooperation among sister ports. The alliance, he
suggested, would aim at exchanging and sharing
information on maritime transport and port affairs, studying
and discussing potential measures to promote mutual
exchanges, and creating a world-scale port network that could respond to the needs of marine transport on
the basis of intra-regional network consisting of member ports.

From this concept, Minister Ashraff further developed the idea and formally proposed the establishment of
an international network organization for sister ports, the International Network of Affiliated Ports or INAP.
All the delegates supported the idea, and on November 19, the group signed the proclamation of INAP.

Since then, the new organization has moved on to realize its goals of enhancing the port network,
integrating each individual affiliates and promoting their activities, exchanging information on port
development, and strengthening economic and cultural relationships.

At the Second General Assembly in Indonesia, member ports agreed on the basic framework of the INAP
Charter. At the Third General Assembly in Kochi, Japan, in November 2000; the Port of Cebu of the
Philippines joined the network. The Mokpo New Port of South Korea followed suit at the Ninth General
Assembly in 2007, held at the Port of Kochi, by way of a sister-port agreement with the Port of Tanjung
Perak, Indonesia.
