Environmental Code of Conduct for Port Management in Central America
The Protocol to the General Central American Integration Treaty, signed by the Central American Presidents in 1993, emphasized the need to perfect and substantially revitalize Central America’s physical port infrastructure to insert its economy into world markets.
With the aim of creating a framework for the application of the plan of action that would enable the agenda to operate, COCATRAM produced the Environmental Code of Conduct for Port Management in Central America, which was approved by the 23rd Meeting of Port Companies of the Central American Isthmus in Guatemala on May 11, 2007.
The code is of voluntary application, prioritizing compliance with each country’s environmental legislation and the regional and international commitments. The port authorities of each country can take it up in accordance with their activities, priorities and resources so that over the short and medium terms each country can gradually establish a system to monitor and reduce the environmental impact of port activities.
