Frequently asked questions

How much does AIVP membership cost?

Membership dues are paid annually, according to a fee schedule determined by AIVP’s AGM. The amount payable depends on the size of the city, port, or business that wishes to join the network. These membership fees provide AIVP with the resources it requires to operate and offer its services.  

What are the advantages of membership?

By becoming an active member, cities, ports, and businesses can secure access to the various services offered by AIVP for their elected representatives, directors or employees. For example, members can keep up with the latest news from port cities around the world, and learn about the best projects for their own port cities. You can also take advantage of the expertise available through the network, share ideas and experiences with other members, and consult experts to help drive your collaborative city-port projects forward. By becoming a member of AIVP, you will soon discover that you are not alone in having high ambitions for your sustainable port city, and will have the opportunity to learn from the experiences of others.
