WHAT IS OCDI ?
OCDI is a non-profit organization established with the authorization of the Japanese Government to undertake various kinds of activities including studies and research for the development of ports in developing countries.

Founded in 1976, OCDI has contributed to the technical and economic growth of more than 80 ports around the world.

OCDI comprises a group of experienced engineers, economists and other specialists provided by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MLIT), port management bodies, consulting firms and other related industries. It has access to the facilities and staff of the National Institute for Land and Infrastructure Management of MLIT and Port and Airport Research Institute as well as to other concerned authorities and institutions.

With this cooperation, OCDI can combine or coordinate a vast amount of experience and know-how by making the best and fullest use of govenmental specialists. And thus OCDI can swiftly organize highly efficient project teams tailored to the development requirements of a specific port.
