As part of its contribution to the IMO / Norway GreenVoyage2050 project, IAPH will be delivering a training workshop on port actions for greener shipping in Mumbai from 10 to 12 October. Over three days, participants will be trained on emission reduction opportunities in ports, aligned with IMO’s resolution MEPC.366(79) encouraging voluntary cooperation between the port and shipping sectors to contribute to reducing GHG emissions from ships. Focus will be placed on onshore power supply (OPS), providing participants with an in-depth overview of OPS from the port perspective and guiding them through assessing feasibility and potential usage before any investment and implementation decisions are made. Further attention will be given on alternative marine fuels, supporting port representatives with know-how to prepare for the new fuels and identify opportunities for future development. IAPH colleagues Bruce Anderson (Starcrest) and Peter Alkema (Port of Amsterdam and chair of the IAPH Clean Marine Fuels working group) will be respectively leading these two training streams. This in-person workshop is open to port participants from the IMO-Norway GreenVoyage2050 partnering countries including Azerbaijan, Belize, China, Cook Islands, Ecuador, Georgia, India, Kenya, Malaysia, Solomon Islands, South Africa, and Sri Lanka. IAPH warmly encourages its member ports from these countries to consult the open call for participation, note the provided funding opportunities, and apply to attend the workshop, by completing the dedicated form (download here) by 30 July.
