The British Ports Association (BPA) is the other ports sector trade association. Whereas UKMPG members tend to be large commercial ports, the BPA has a wide membership of ports and terminal operators of varying sizes, from larger cargo-handling ports to small leisure ports, and including private, trust and municipal sector ports. UKMPG works closely with the BPA and the two organisations host a number of joint working groups for members to share best practice across the industry. These include a joint Environment Policy Group, a Marine Pilotage Group and a Port Infrastructure Group. For more information about the BPA, see their website at: http://www.britishports.org.uk/
