IAPH has teamed up with OAS-CIP (Inter-American Committee on Ports of the Organization of American States) and IAPH member the National Ports Administration of Uruguay in Montevideo to organise a regional forum on port sustainability and innovation, held 11–12 May. There are planned workshops on all major IAPH products developed by the technical committees as well as a session of Port Endeavor gameplay, all of which will be conducted in Spanish. The forum rekindles the MoU and working relationship between OAS-CIP and IAPH, which builds on the series of webinars held previously. This invitation-only event is being coordinated by OAS-CIP’s program manager Sabina Malnis and IAPH regional representative for Central and South America, Guimara Tuñón Guerra. IAPH managing director Patrick Verhoeven visited the OAS-CIP secretariat chief Jorge Duran in Washington last week to discuss the forum as well as further plans for collaboration.
