The July-August edition of Ports & Harbors, the IAPH membership magazine produced by S&P Global, is now available. Our cover interview is with Lori Fellmer, vice president of logistics and carrier management at BassTech International, a major US chemical supplier. Lori was a keynote speaker at our recent #IAPH2022 Conference in Vancouver. She offers us a unique view as a port user not only seen through her own eyes as an individual shipper, but also as chair of the ocean transportation committee of the National Industrial Transportation League in the United States. In this edition we also get a view on ports and their role in decarbonising the industry as seen from shipowners’ perspective in conversation with ICS secretary general Guy Platten as the Chamber celebrates its centenary this year. We also look at emerging green corridors and analyse new build fleet numbers earmarked for new fuels or emissions-reducing technology. Ports’ resilience is also under the spotlight with how they fit in the complex marine transportation system, risk modelling on climate change impact and a ‘how to’ section on keeping up with evolving fire risks. Peter Tirschwell dedicates his topical column to expanding ports without taking up more space and we have an overview of our IAPH 2022 Sustainability Awards winners.
