PREFACE

This book of abstracts contains 284 abstracts presented at the 34th PIANC World
Congress held in Panama, Republic of Panama, from 7 to 11 May 2018. PIANC World
Congress presents and discusses topics relevant to the waterborne transport and
infrastructure sector. It rotates among PIANC’s member countries every four years
and it is open to members and non-members. Participants, have the opportunity to
exchange knowledge and experiences.

PIANC’s goal is to advance the sustainable development of shallow and deep-draft
navigation issues including dredging and dredged material disposal, navigation and
pot infrastructure, recreational navigation and related environmental matters.

The Book of Abstract is arranged according to the main Themes of the Congress
namely: Inland Navigation, Dredging, Logistics & Infrastructure, Ports, Marinas, and
Environment. Inside each Theme, the abstracts are arranged by the topics of the
Theme.
