Fortunately, OCDI brings together people with vast experience and expertise in different disciplines and fields such as shipping, stevedoring, construction, equipment design as well as port management at both the national and local government levels.
This allows us to assemble a team of specialists with access to a wide range of international and domestic data that can accurately analyze and solve the issues related to any assignment.
In addition, OCDI actively makes recommendations to the Japanese government on port policy including management and operation based on the findings of the various surveys we conduct throughout the world.
In future, we will strive to respond promptly and flexibly to new changes and needs in both a creative and practical manner by increasing collaboration with universities, research institutes, the private sector and other means.

We will do our best to enhance the quality of Japan’s international cooperation, to earn the trust of developing countries and the world, and to assist in formulating Japan’s port policy based on our knowledge and activities.
We would like to ask all of you for your continued support and cooperation.

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 from many fields.
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.
And thus OCDI can swiftly organize highly efficient project teams tailored to the development requirements of a specific port.
