Members of IAPH’s Technical Committees are invited to save the date of Monday 2 November for the next in-person Technical Committee Day, which will take place in London on the eve of the 2026 IAPH World Ports Conference, held 3-6 November. Following on from a successful ‘TC Days’ in Singapore in April (pictured), nine in-person-only technical sessions are planned in three parallel streams, followed by meetings of the main committees. A full agenda will be circulated in due course but critical topics likely to be covered include Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS), sustainable cruise port accreditation, connected ports, and – ahead of MEPC 85 (30 Nov-3 Dec) – port readiness for clean marine fuels and onshore power supply (OPS). The main Climate & Energy Technical Committee working groups (CMF/PRL/OPS) are likely to meet during the week beginning Monday 26 October – the members of these working groups will be informed separately. Full details to follow.
