The term of the office of the incumbent IAPH president, Capt K. Subramaniam, will expire on the conclusion of Annual General Meeting held during this year’s IAPH World Ports Conference in Abu Dhabi. Following a call for self-nominations, Jens Meier, current IAPH vice-president for Europe and CEO of Hamburg Port Authority, came forward as the candidate to succeed Capt. Subra. Jens Meier meets all nomination qualifications set out in the IAPH constitution. All regular and honorary members of IAPH have received a form to cast a vote of confidence, which should be returned by 26 June. The formal hand-over of the presidency will take place in Abu Dhabi on 2 November.
