IAPH members are invited to mark their calendars and ‘save the dates’ for the 2027 edition of the association’s Technical Committee Days.

IAPH has six committees covering climate and energy, data collaboration, risk and resilience, port operations and finance, cruise, and legal. The discussions that take place in these committees power the work programme of the association for the months ahead. Often referred to as the ‘engine room’ of the association’s work, the in-person ‘TC days’ offer regular and associate members golden opportunities not only to share critical knowledge but also to network. Watch this space for further details of the 2027 TC Days agenda and registration. If you are interested in participating and contributing to any of our technical committees, please contact IAPH director, technical committees Masaoki Shirai.

Lithium-ion safety in focus at 2 November TC Day

IAPH — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 07:10:56 +0000

IAPH’s full-day in-person-only Technical Committee Day on 2 November will include an exploration of the important issue of lithium-ion battery safety, led by George Charalampidis, director of regulatory affairs, of the World Shipping Council (WSC). The risks are real and arguably increasing in line with the volumes of these batteries being transported. The consequences of a ‘thermal runaway’ fire, either on a vessel berthed in a port or in a container terminal, would be far-reaching, and such risks are of increasing concern to IAPH members. George has advocated for stronger controls over the maritime transport of lithium-ion batteries and cells, particularly concerning fire risks associated with containerised shipments. Held at the Hilton London Olympia, the day before the 2026 IAPH World Ports Conference, the TC Day will feature nine technical sessions across three parallel streams, followed by meetings of the three main committees. To book your place, please access the registration form and agenda here. For any questions on the agenda or inquiries about contributing, please contact IAPH director, technical committees Masaoki Shirai.

#IAPH2026: essential maritime business briefings

IAPH — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 07:09:23 +0000

This programme for this year’s IAPH World Ports Conference includes two business briefings exploring practical approaches to port decarbonisation. ‘Incentivising emissions reductions’, a briefing sponsored by OceanScore, will be held on 4 November (11:45 GMT). IAPH’s Environmental Ship Index (ESI) has been the leading environmental incentive scheme for ports for more than a decade. At this session, delegates will learn how the IMO-recognised scheme is being enhanced to meet and exceed the standards of the Net Zero Framework, with contributions from both port and shipping company users about their experiences of the scheme. ‘Onshore power for ships – cost-efficient innovations and solutions’, a briefing sponsored by Jenbacher, will be held on 4 November (13.45 GMT). Onshore power (OPS) is established as a cornerstone of port decarbonisation and at this session delegates will learn about innovative technologies, business models and practical solutions that can make shore power more affordable and scalable, with support from IAPH’s expert OPS working group. Make sure these sessions are part of your itinerary, alongside the many other opportunities to gain insight, share experiences and connect with industry peers.

National secretary of the Brazilian Ministry of Mines and Energy Renato Dutra intervened with his support as member country of the nine-country CEM-HUBS coalition, together with contributions from Ricardo Batista of the IMO and Arno van den Bos of IRENA, with closing remarks from Jean-François Gagné, head of the Clean Energy Ministerial. ICS and IAPH offered a summary presentation of the upcoming report by EY Parthenon, which is part of a blueprint for action alongside an IMO-led IRENA report for collective action on how to implement CEM-HUBS, and which will feature at the closing plenary session on day two of the 2026 IAPH World Ports Conference.
