It is a great opportunity to present the status of an Associated Member in the MEDports Association such as our current Associated Members.
WHAT IS AN ASSOCIATED MEMBER?
To be an ordinary member of the MEDports Association, you have to be a Port Authority or assimilated in the Mediterranean region.

Globally, you will participate in the committees of the organization. Your involvement is the same as the one of ordinary members.
