Working under the IAPH Climate & Energy Technical Committee, the IAPH Onshore Power Supply (OPS) Working Group brings together leaders and technical experts from ports with years of operational OPS experience and ports that are at the beginning their OPS journey. This enables deep technical exchange, practical problem‑solving, and collective learning. The group aims to disseminate best practices – including feasibility and implementation considerations – to make its experience accessible and to identify challenges in OPS deployment.
The working group meets regularly online to advance technical alignment and develop OPS implementation insights. It has expanded its scope through guidance and dissemination activities, and it engages with organisations working on OPS capacity building, through broader initiatives supported by IAPH and IMO.
Please contact IAPH Technical Director Antonis Michail [email] if you are interested in joining the working group
