Against the backdrop of TOC Europe, held 19-21 May in Hamburg, IAPH president and Hamburg Port Authority CEO Jens Meier met with Jaime Puna, executive member of the Board at IAPH regular member Port of Sines. A key topic in Jens and Jaime’s strategic discussion was the development of the Sustainable Energy Hub in the Port of Hamburg, which served as an example of the evolving role of ports in future energy supply chains. The executives also exchanged views on renewable energy production, the goals and strategies being pursued by their respective ports, and the expansion of shore power facilities and the expected rise in demand from container and cruise vessels from 2030 onward.
