A team made up of UNCTAD TrainForTrade’s Mark Assaf, Dominique Chantrel, Gonzalo Ayala, APEC’s Kim Mathys and IAPH’s Victor Shieh teamed up for the first ever tripartite-moderated Port Endeavor gameplay, which took place yesterday afternoon at the main stage of the Theater Zuidplein at the International Harbour Masters (IHMA) Conference in Rotterdam. Six teams, which included harbour masters, local college students, and IHMA president Captain Paul O’Regan (CCO and harbour master of the Port of Duqm), enjoyed several rounds of the game in splendid surroundings as part of the main programme of the conference. IAPH and IHMA jointly launched the Port Call Optimization (PCO) Guide at the most recent IMO FAL meeting; the organisations has since developed a version in Spanish with an Arabic version in the works.
