IAPH regular and honorary members voted this month to elect Jens Meier, CEO of Hamburg Port Authority as the president of IAPH for a two-year mandate, commencing in October this year. Jens Meier was appointed vice-president for the Europe region in 2019 before being appointed president at the Annual General Meeting which took place at the IAPH 2023 World Ports Conference in Abu Dhabi. The official appointment will take place during the IAPH 2025 World Ports Conference when the association celebrates its seventieth anniversary. At the Annual General Meeting in Kobe on 9 October, regular and honorary members will first have to endorse the process and outcome of the election by vote.
