In his capacity as general manager of Port Klang Authority, IAPH president Capt K. Subramaniam hosted the 13th International Biennial Congress of the International Harbour Masters Association (IHMA). In his keynote address, Capt Subra presented Port Klang’s capacity building and port development plans and how these harmonise the roles and functions of ports with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. This includes the demands on port terminals on the new requirements of the shipping lines catering to the increasing sizes as well as the new technology developments on vessels such as engines and low- and zero-carbon fuels. The 2022 IHMA Congress gathered 200 habour masters and key decision-makers from the international maritime industry. The programme focused on the innovation, technology, collaboration and resilience that will shape a better, safer future.
