To support the goal of the Governments of Jordan and Morocco as they take steps to increase efficiency and improve operations at their major ports, the U.S. Trade and Development Agency is sponsoring a twelve-day Reverse Trade Mission to the United States for public and private ports sector officials from Jordan and Morocco.

The RTM will showcase U.S. port sector best practices and technologies, including Vessel Traffic Management Systems, Integrated Port Communications Information Systems and port security and surveillance technology, through site visits and meetings with U.S. firms and operations in the ports sector. The RTM will include a one-day business briefing where delegates from Jordan and Morocco will present commercial opportunities for U.S. firms associated with their ports improvement programs.
