IAPH Cruise and Risk & Resilience meetings coming up

The Cruise and Risk & Resilience Committees are the first IAPH Technical Committees in line to have their autumn meetings, both in online format. The Cruise Committee meets 6 October from 5 to 7 PM CEST. The principal agenda item is the set-up of an Onshore Power Supply (OPS) Cruise Platform and the data collection of port and ship-related OPS information. The Risk & Resilience Committee will meet on 12 October from 4 to 6 PM CEST. The main topic on the agenda will be the progress achieved with the development of the guidelines for business continuity policy and risk preparedness for ports, one of the key deliverables of the committee for 2022. The committee will also reflect on disruptions emanating from the Ukrainian conflict and beyond. On port performance, members will be presented with the outcomes of the soon to be published ‘Close the Gaps’ report and will discuss progress with the World Ports Tracker. Members will be further briefed on the key topics and expectations from the forthcoming IMO Marine Safety Committee meeting. Finally, the committee will review progress on some of the individual topics on its radar, including climate resilience, anti-corruption, and safe handling of dangerous goods. Committee members will be receiving the agendas and documentation shortly. Participation in the Technical Committees is open to all IAPH regular and associate members. If you are interested in joining the work of one or more committees, please email our colleague Takeshi Suzuki ([email protected]).
