The IAPH Board met online on 8 February. Board members adopted the budget proposal for 2021, the first following the new configuration of staff and other resources decided last year and the integration of the Environmental Ship Index. A preliminary report on the ESI operation was discussed. Board members also considered a strategy to grow the IAPH membership over the next years. This will now be translated in a concrete action plan, with regional targets. The Board further adopted the arrangements for the 2021 World Ports Conference and Annual General Meeting. The latter will be held through correspondence. The Board will meet again in April, at a date still to be confirmed.
The approved budget 2021 is posted in the “Library” (password-protected Members Area of the IAPH website) https://www.iaphworldports.org/members/library
