We are pleased to invite you to participate in the IFORS 2014 Conference to be held on 13-18 July 2014 in the city of Barcelona, in the Mediterranean coast of Spain.
Aims and scope

Accordingly, the need for effective decision making strategies for managing these port operations have become apparent and therefore have attracted many researchers into the subject. Aim of this event is to bring together a diverse and high quality number of participants to share their new ideas, knowledge and experiences in the logistics and maritime industry.
Topics of interest include:
Port management and policies
Stowage planning
Quayside operations
