The March-April 2026 edition of Ports & Harbors magazine is available to read now. The cover story interview is with Karrie Trauth, newly-elected president of the UK Chamber of Shipping. In conversation with IAPH managing director Patrick Verhoeven, Karrie addresses challenges and opportunities facing the industry, from decarbonisation and clean fuels to digitalisation. She places particular emphasis on forging closer partnerships and collaborations with port authorities and other key stakeholders, in areas such as recruitment and training. This edition features an analysis of the newly-launched EU Port Strategy and EU Industrial Maritime Strategy as well as an exploration of some of the issues facing small island ports in the Pacific. There is also a case study on New Zealand’s Port of Lyttelton and its exemplary record in achieving biodiversity-positive outcomes through its environmental work. There are further insights on India’s path to port decarbonisation and the emergence of onboard carbon capture and storage (OCCS). P&H editor Martin Clark also speaks to Brian Thomson, managing director of the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company, the world’s oldest continuously operating passenger shipping firm. It’s all in the latest issue of your IAPH membership magazine, ready to enjoy today.
