This week, IAPH colleagues based in Antwerp, Brussels, London, Plymouth and Athens convened at IAPH’s Park Street, London offices, shared with the British Ports Association, to review strategic priorities for 2026. Held 8 July, the meeting focused on projects and deliverables under the key thematic areas of IAPH’s committees. Among the issues discussed were the Environmental Ship Index, ongoing advocacy at the IMO, publications and products, and the IAPH World Ports Conference in London, 3-6 November. In the evening, the team attended a Summer Networking Event run by the Seahorse Freight Association – a not-for-profit organisation bringing the supply chain, logistics, and transport industry together with sector media, public relations and marketing professionals. The event, held at The Anchor Bankside pub, was sponsored by IAPH, and team members networked with maritime media contacts, raising awareness of #IAP2026 in London.
