The topics of the meetings deal with the environment, advances in port technology, organisational and legislative improvements, compliance with international standards, modernisation plans, innovations, among others.

During these meetings, Miguel Garín gave two technical conferences, the first on port innovation and the second on the methodology for developing a smartport.
In addition, the presence of the Panama Maritime Authority (AMP) at REPICA was used to promote the new edition of the Master in Logistics and Port Management that both entities (Valenciaport Foundation and AMP) have organised and that will start the first week of March 2023.

REPICA is a permanent meeting that takes place once a year, whose Secretariat is in charge of COCATRAM. The venue is rotating, at the request of the member countries or the Port Authority acting as host.
