The May-June edition of the IAPH membership magazine Ports & Harbors is headed up by a cover interview with Mario Cordero, the executive director of the Port of Long Beach. With IAPH managing director Patrick Verhoeven, Mario explores how ports require a mindshift change in the way they are organised and operate from being landlords to becoming supply chain partners. Also featuring in this edition: we interview professor Lynn Loo, CEO of the Singapore-based Global Center for Maritime Decarbonization, which aims at accelerating shipping and ports’ paths towards energy transition and the adoption of new, zero carbon fuels. We have the latest global port data trends with the IAPH World Ports Tracker, examine the shifts in globalisation with the new geo-political world order, and explore how the geographical position of a port influences air quality. There is a guide on how to implement a Maritime Single Window, a perspective on voyage optimisation and our regular features, including a project focus on Caspian Sea ports and IAPH policy and IMO liaison officer Rhona Macdonald talking Ports & Harbors through her preparations for important IMO FAL and MEPC meetings.
