The first IAPH-OAS-CIP joint forum for Latin American ports, hosted by Administración Nacional de Puertos (ANP) of Uruguay in Montevideo was held earlier this week. A day and a half of intense workshops and interchange of ideas took place from 11-12 May, featuring tools and best practices around the topics of climate and energy, risk and resilience and data collaboration. A delegation led by IAPH regional VP for Central and South America Vinicius Patel and regional IAPH representative Guimara Tuñón Guerra included IAPH’s Antonis Michail and Victor Shieh, and Data Collaboration Committee Chair Ingrid Boqué Sastre of Port de Barcelona, as well as Caio Cunha of Porto do Açu, who interacted with IAPH members from Uruguay, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Guatemala and Peru. The ‘trunk show’ forum, which focused on showcasing IAPH’s tools and initiatives around sustainability and port innovation, was conducted entirely in Spanish. The event was organised by Sabina Malnis with Viviana Techera of the Inter-American Committee on Ports (CIP) of the Organization of the American States (OAS), alongside ANP.
