Maritime (Alexandria) Committee
Committee Objectives
Our goal is to be a key member to AmCham providing information
and support to the members and other interested parties on the progress
and process of privatizing the maritime transports of Egypt. The
new committee will make and maintain key contacts within the maritime
transport sector and stakeholders to the benefit of the AmCham membership.
- View employees and future employees as
stakeholders in the privatization process.
- Review how regulations have been changed
to smooth out the privatization process, what investors will need
to be successful and the areas that still require improvement
- Enhance AmChams' visibility and reputation within the maritime transport sector
- Create a network of key personnel within the industry for AmCham members
- Lobby Government Representatives towards favorable changes in regulations
- Liaison with key training institutions to increase awareness of the education needs of the industry

Committee Work Plan
- Connect with key companies in maritime transport sector to open
dialogue about the employee challenges they face
- Attend and possibly present at the annual Port Training Institute
Conference as part of a Protocol between the AmCham and the Port
Training Institute. This would be AmCham's venue to have a voice
to increase the level of education for graduates so they are able
to cope with the requirements and standards of the market. This
will ensure the complete utilization of the Egyptian workforce.
- Keep our current contacts from past committees and expand them
to create a comprehensive network.
- Collate the information required to compete for the opportunity
to manage a state owned entity.
- Create a profile of the remaining state managed maritime transport
locations that may come up for privatization.
- Continue to enhance the visibility of the AmCham as a place
to connect and receive information on maritime transport operations
and needs.
- Hold 2 Seminars between January and June 2006
a) One dealing with employer/employee issues and education.
b) One dealing with the government's new trend to appoint
the private sector/foreign companies to manage state-owned entities
through concession agreements.
