IAPH regular and honorary members voted to elect Jens Meier, CEO of Hamburg Port Authority, Germany to be the next president of IAPH for a two-year mandate, commencing in November. Meier has been vice president for the Europe region since 2019. He will succeed captain Subramaniam Karuppiah, general manager at the Port Klang Authority in Malaysia who has been at the helm of the organization since 2021. The official transition will take place during the 2023 World Ports Conference. At the annual general Meeting in Abu Dhabi this year, regular and honorary members will vote. As of July 2023, 6,686 vessels have been registered with the Environmental Ship Index (ESI). The ESI identifies seagoing ships that perform better in reducing air emissions than required by current IMO standards. Registered incentive providers in ports then allow vessels scoring high on the ESI to receive a discount on seaport dues. A new ESI-at-berth program to evaluate cruise ship emissions during a port call is in trials. Find out more about how to get involved on the dedicated ESI website or contact the Green Awards team, which works with the IAPH on the scheme. |
