Panama Maritime Authority contracts with PCG

Piedroba Consulting Group (PCG), in a partnership with The Organization of American States’ (OAS) Inter-American Committee on Ports (CIP) hosted a successful weeklong Executive Dredging Class in Panama last week. PCG’s staff traveled to Panama City, Panama to visit the Autoridad Maritima de Panama (APM) on April 9-13 and educate the 35 Port Officials in attendance on the different dynamics surrounding dredge project delivery.
 
The turnkey class addressed topics such as: Dredge Project Design, Contract Administration, Risk Management, Site Investigations, Environmental Compliance, and Performance-Based Contracting among others. The class included a site visit where the participants spent a full day on one of the world’s largest Cutter Suction Dredgers.

Panama’s Minister of Maritime Affairs, Mr. Jorge Barakat complemented PCG with providing an excellent educational service "The class was outstanding, and we are thankful for our partners at PCG and CIP, and for offering invaluable technical expertise that will support the maritime community in Panama with all its exciting projects.”
