TOKYO: The board members of the International Association of Ports and Harbors (IAPH) have decided upon a new strategic course of action, establishing new Technical Committees with a reorganisation of resources to support that course.
IAPH President Santiago Garcia Milà commented: “The Board identified three strategic focus areas for the coming years: climate and energy, data collaboration and risk and resilience. These cover genuinely global topics that are on the agenda of most port managers and international regulators such as the International Maritime Organization.
Further to the announcement last week of the partnership agreement with IAPH joining the IMO-Norway GreenVoyage2050 project, the new Climate and Energy committee focus will be to unite all energy-transition and environmental-related port initiatives under one umbrella, serving as conduit to global maritime policymaking at IMO level.
