Alaska Association of Harbormasters and Port Administrators

If you have any involvement with the marine industry of Alaska, you should consider attending the annual conference of the Alaska Association of Harbormasters and Port Administrators (AAHPA). The meeting is set for the week of October 23, 2006 and the Port of Ketchikan is the host. The Port of Ketchikan has made special arrangements for travel and lodging for conference attendees. See the AAHPA website for further details as they develop.

The AAHPA conference brings representatives of ports, marinas, engineering firms, government agencies and equipment providers together for a week of training and networking. Members of organizations based in the Northwest and Canada also attend. The host Port of Ketchikan also has a number of tours and activities planned for the event.

One important training opportunity will be an OSHA approved Travelift operator training course. We are planning on bringing Paul Dopkke of Huff Limited to provide the training on October 23rd. Paul is the official trainer for the Marine Travelift Company. This will be a great opportunity to train harbor staff members on this important equipment.

Make plans to register for the 2006 AAHPA Annual Conference in Ketchikan, Alaska!
