There is less than a week to go until IAPH’s latest free topical webinar, this time focused on the subject of underwater radiated noise (URN). On Wednesday 6 May (17.00 CEST / 08.00 PDT), join IAPH technical director Antonis Michail and an expert panel comprising Cheryl Ng, ECHO program specialist – collaborative initiatives at the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority, Rachel Aronson, program director for Quiet Sound and Eduardo Ramos, senior data analyst at OceanScore. There is still little understanding of how responsible operational practices and initiatives by vessels and ports can reduce the serious impact of URN – this session will reveal the latest strategies and technologies for mitigating URN and its effects. The panel will unpack ongoing regulatory discussions of URN at the IMO and explore the recently launched URN module within IAPH’s Environmental Ship Index (ESI), which can be used by ports and ships to ‘turn down the volume’ on this critical shipping output. This is the third in this year’s series of #IAPH2026 webinars, counting down to the IAPH World Ports Conference in London this November. Register for free today!
