Activities
OCDI activities
At the International Coastal Development Institute (OCDI), we utilize our expertise and experience in the fields of port construction, operation, regional development, and international shipping to support port development and management in developing countries.
Through research and consulting, we aim to achieve sustainable and efficient port operations, and have a wide range of achievements in the fields of project formation, regional development planning, feasibility studies, and more.
In terms of technology transfer and human resource development, we train engineers and experts from developing countries through training programs and technical cooperation projects, and also collaborate with universities and companies in Japan and abroad to provide on-site, precise solutions.
This allows us to flexibly respond to changes in global trends, such as port privatization, international logistics, and decarbonization.
Our goal is to gain the trust of the world through the development of ports and coastal areas, and to improve the quality of Japan's international contributions. We will continue to work toward a better future while responding to the changing society and economy.
