2024 will be a pivotal year for ports and their communities. Geopolitical instability is on the rise. Physical and digital security is under threat, at sea and on shore.
Shipowners, supply chain providers and cargo owners must adapt rapidly. The energy transition towards low- and zero-carbon fuels must be balanced against national energy security concerns.
#IAPH2024 will offer attendees insights on these topics, revealing how ports – from developing and developed nations – are building secure and sustainable solutions to these shared challenges, in a deeply interconnected world.
To be held in Hamburg from 8 – 10 October, with support from the World Bank, IMO, UNCTAD and other industry partners, the 2024 conference will encompass the whole end-to-end maritime supply chain and global port interests.
The 2024 conference will also host the coveted IAPH Sustainability Awards from the World Ports Sustainability Program.
