NGO Consultative Status to UN Agencies
Recognized as the only international organization representing the voice of the world port industry, IAPH is granted Consultative Status as Non-governmental Organization (NGO) from five United Nations (UN) specialized agencies and one intergovernmental body:
- UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC)
- International Maritime Organization (IMO)
- UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD)
- UN Environment Programme (UNEP)

The consultative status has enabled IAPH to make known the views of a port manager to the world and protect the interests of the global port industry as a whole.
