The call for projects for the 2023 IAPH Sustainability Awards competition is now open and IAPH member ports are warmly encouraged to submit their projects and initiatives by completing the dedicated online form by the deadline of 26 May. All eligible projects will be publicly shared through the WPSP portfolio database and enter as candidates to this year’s competition. Candidate projects will be competing in six different categories; infrastructure, digitalisation, climate and energy, environmental care, community building, and health safety and security. As always, following our experts’ jury evaluation three projects per category will be shortlisted and then be subject to an open public vote that will co-determine the final winners. A seventh ‘Akiyama’ award will also be given, in memory of IAPH founding father Toru Akiyama, to the highest-placed IAPH Sustainability Awards finalist from a least-developed country, a landlocked developing country or a small island developing state. All awards will be handed out during a dedicated ceremony at the gala dinner of the World Ports Conference in Abu Dhabi, which takes place from 31 October to 2 November this year. Full information on the scope and process for the Sustainability Awards is provided in the terms of reference. Ports willing to submit projects are advised to consult the evaluation criteria and to address these in their submissions. For any questions or doubts related to the Awards please contact IAPH technical director Antonis Michail ([email protected]). We are looking forward to receiving your numerous and high-quality submissions.
