IAPH Board members met online 19 October. The agenda of the meeting featured a number of internal organisational issues, including the appointment of new technical committee officials. The Board endorsed the nomination of Simone Maraschi, managing director of Cruise Gate Hamburg, as chair of the Cruise Committee, and the nomination of Gadi Benmoshe, managing director of Marinnovators, as vice-chair of the Data Collaboration Committee. Board members further discussed preparations for the 2023 World Ports Conference, the implementation of the IAPH 2022-2023 work programme and progress with the Environmental Ship Index. The next Board meeting will be held on 28 November and is combined with a Council meeting on 29 November. Both meetings will take place in person at the headquarters of the International Maritime Organization in London. Online participation will be provided. IAPH Board and Council members will be receiving details for both meetings shortly.
