| Purpose of Establishment |
The Goal of the Port and Airport Research Institute,
an independent administrative institution, is to
contribute to the efficient and smooth construction of
ports and airports. In addition, the attainment of
improved technologies in relation to the construction
of ports and airports is a major goal. This goal will
be achieved by conducting investigation, research, as
well as the development of technologies that relate
to such things as the construction of ports and
airports.
