One of the main paths to improved end-to-end maritime supply chain improvement involves enhanced port efficiency through digitalisation and automation. Aside from the change management that is required, ports face a serious challenge in attracting and retaining talented emerging technology experts to work in the port ecosystem. The IAPH Data Collaboration Committee would like to help prepare the ports’ work force of the future for these new employment opportunities. Since last year’s Technical Committee days in London a working group has been established to assess the most useful way IAPH can support its members in the future of work efforts. After exploring the related opportunities, the group has suggested a number of activities and is inviting IAPH members to give their opinion answering this very short survey. We would appreciate if members can respond on the survey before 15 January, so that the tools members could find useful can be prioritised moving ahead.
