The November-December edition of Ports & Harbors, the membership magazine of the IAPH, is out now. The cover interview is with Jens Meier, CEO of Hamburg Port Authority, who was recently re-elected as IAPH president. In conversation with IAPH managing director Patrick Verhoeven, Jens reflects on the recent 70th anniversary World Ports Conference in Kobe, and shares his priorities for the association as he begins his new term. P&H also speaks to Roel Hoenders, the IMO’s head of climate action and clean air, on the recent adjournment decision on the Net Zero Framework and what to expect ahead of next year’s MEPC. This edition also includes insights into the key themes from the fifth edition of the Container Port Performance Index, published by the World Bank and S&P Global as well as a detailed look at how ports in Central and South America are adapting to the reconfiguration of global supply chains and the energy transition. Finally, there is a look back at the winners from the IAPH Sustainability Awards in Kobe and a look ahead to next year’s conference, which will take place in London in November 2026.
