The International Association of Ports and Harbors (IAPH) was founded in November 1955. Today, as the global alliance of the world port community, it represents 168 ports and 134 port-related organisations in 84 countries and economies worldwide. The member ports together handle over 60% of the world's sea-borne trade cargo and over 60% of global container traffic. The IAPH meets every year at the IAPH World Ports Conference, the largest gathering of the world port community. Port executives, managers, and experts coming from all parts of the world exchange views and experiences over a range of issues and challenges. In addition, members of IAPH's six regions - Africa, Europe; America, North; America, Central and South; Asia, South/West, East and Middle East; Asia, South East and Oceania - convene for regional meetings to discuss common issues in a local context. The association actively addresses critical issues facing the port industry through its technical committees, forums, and working groups. Currently, there are six technical committees - Climate & Energy, Risk S Resilience, Data Collaboration, Planning, Operation & Finance, Cruise, Legal - which communicate and meet to deliver what is required for our members. The IAPH Women's Forum and two working groups - on Environmental Ship Index and Clean Marine Fuels - also exist to enable strong member collaboration and information sharing. |
