The Guidelines on Strategic Maintenance for Port Structures was newly developed by Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT), Ports and Airports Research Institute (PARI) and Ocean Policy Research Foundation (OPRF) in cooperation with ASEAN countries. The purpose of the guidelines is to provide developing countries, particularly ASEAN countries, with assistance to appropriately maintain their various port structures such as concrete structures and steel structures.
