Q: Which areas will the IAPH Risk and Resilience committee focus on in 2022? A: We will be concentrating on developing a set of guidelines for ports on business continuity and risk preparedness within 2022 and overseeing the launch and follow-up of the World Ports Tracker starting with the basic elements of Pillar I in March 2022. Regarding the guidelines, a first, generic part targeting the management components that need to be in place to address risk and resilience, will be investigated. As far as I am concerned, this boils down to understanding the threats that ports face but also to be aware of what is unknown. Second, we are looking into a practical, case study-focused part that would highlight how ports responded to real challenges and the lessons learned. This is part of our mutual learning, and moving toward a culture of sharing lessons learned would benefit us all. We will also elaborate on the draft self-assessment tool that was developed in view of several surveys that we ran on the resilience level of ports. We hope to share several questions and good practices with our IAPH regular port members so that they can assess themselves on their level of resilience and identify their gaps and strengths. |
