Supply chain industry news source profiles associations making a difference in their expanding industry.

SAN DIEGO, CA, June 26, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Supply Chain Digital, the leading business news source for C-level executives working in the supply chain industry, offers exclusive profiles on associations and organizations representing those influencing the industry with their work in its various business sectors. Recently, Supply Chain Digital profiled the Association of Canadian Port Authorities (ACPA) - a group representative of all Canadian port authorities referred to in the Canada Marine Act (CMA) as Canada's National Ports System.

Canada Port Authorities handle over 280 million tonnes of cargo a year, valued at $162 billion. Canada's trade represents over 40 percent of the country's GDP, a quarter of which moves through its seaports. It is the mission of the Association of Canadian Port Authorities to promote and protect the interests of Canadian Ports in all matters related to government policy, trade, competitiveness, and public awareness. Collectively, ACPA members work to advance sustainable maritime transportation.

Canada's seaports are key to moving goods and people and are well positioned to support growing international trade. The marine industry is the mode of choice for many import bulk commodity movements including grain, iron ore, potash, crude oil, steel, rubber and more. These goods travel through the St. Lawrence, Great Lakes, Atlantic and BC ports and have experienced exponential growth. The trade volume through Canadian ports is expected to double over the next 15 to 20 years.

Supply Chain Digital offers daily updates on the different business sectors within the supply chain industry. Once a month, the brand releases its digital magazine highlighting the top stories, including interviews with the major players, from around the industry. Supply Chain Digital also recognizes associations like the Association of Canadian Port Authorities who are influencing Canadian maritime business on the regional, national and international levels.
