Another successful Port Endeavor training session took place in Antwerp on 14 December, this time for international students of the C-MAT Maritime Transport Management course held at the Antwerp Management School. IAPH technical director, Antonis Michail facilitated the session as part of his lecture on sustainable port management. This was the first time IAPH facilitated a gameplay for non-port professionals and the positive outcome confirmed the great potential of Port Endeavor to be used by universities and academic institutions, offering a hands-on learning experience on sustainable port management. During the two hours session, the participants took over the role of port managers in addressing challenges ranging in focus from environmental, such as dealing with dust, waste and protecting biodiversity, to tackling energy transition and decarbonization, and further to addressing socio-economic challenges to ensure the livelihood of their local communities.
