Don’t miss the next technical committees meetings

The IAPH technical committees on Data Collaboration and Climate & Energy will be having their autumn meetings in the next two weeks, both in online format. First, the Data Collaboration Committee meets 3 November from 12 to 2 PM CET. The committee will be discussing the ongoing IMO work on digitalisation and the joint IMO-IAPH-BIMCO initiative on promoting and building capacity towards the implementation of the Maritime Single Window concept by 2024. Members will further evaluate progress on the IAPH collaborative initiatives with the World Bank and the World Customs Organization, also considering collaboration to improve the resilience of maritime supply chains. The committee will further touch upon the developments and way forward on cybersecurity, port call optimisation, innovation, and automation. The Climate and Energy committee meets 10 November from 4 to 6 PM CET. The main item on the agenda will be decarbonisation of shipping and the preparation of the IAPH input ahead of the forthcoming IMO meetings, the intersessional working group on greenhouse gases (ISWG-GHG 13) on 5-9 December and the Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC 79) on 12-16 December. Members will be particularly invited to reflect on market-based measures, the revision of the IMO GHG strategy, green corridors, and the notion of just and equitable energy transition. As always, the committee will review progress of own IAPH initiatives such as the Environmental Ship Index and the Clean Marine Fuels working group as well as ongoing third parties’ initiatives on energy transition. 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]).
