IAPH technical director Antonis Michail visited the Posidonia exhibition in Athens, held 1-5 June, to meet with port and maritime transport stakeholders from across the world. During the event focused on ‘Greek ports, breakwaters of geopolitical challenges for economic developments’ organised by the Hellenic Ports Association on 2 June, Antonis had the opportunity to catch up with IAPH members from the ports of HAROPA, Heraklion, Kavala, and Tenerife – as well as prospective members from the Greek port community – and stakeholders and colleagues from CLIA, ECSA, IBIA, MedCruise, UNCTAD and the Greek Authorities. Panel discussions at the event focused on competitive ports as critical infrastructure nodes, geopolitical impacts on cruise, and the role of ports in sustainable transformation of maritime transport.
