  The blocking of the Ever Given in the Suez Canal has once again illustrated how vulnerable global supply chains are and how one local incident can have a full-scale ‘butterfly effect. Cybercrime brings unexpected dimensions to this vulnerability. In this session, we will discuss a recent maritime cybercase with an unexpected Ocean's Eleven-like plot.

  With a new US administration, a new EU "Green Deal" and Asia powering ahead post-pandemic with much of the developing world still struggling, a changing of the guard is upon us. With the shipping and ports sector under immense pressure to decarbonize and reduce emisssions, outlier charterers, shipowners and carriers are taking matters into their own hands. The COVID19 pandemic has disrupted the global maritime and logistics supply chain, accelerating the industry's path towards digitalization at a rate never imagined by the industry. Following COVID19 and two financial crises already this century, ports are being forced to look at how to ensure business continuity during future disruptive events. In this session, learn how maritime industry leaders are adapting their organizations to a new and uncertain future.

  Ports as Energy Transition Hubs

  Ports are transforming rapidly, with many transforming into vibrant physical and digital hubs of economic activity. With this change, sustainable energy generation is becoming key, not only for ports themselves but also to close regional circular economic loops. Ports are looking at waste and energy reuse, replacing hydrocarbons with renewable sources to power newly-electrified terminal operations for cargo and passengers. How can public and private sector interests in port communities achieve such a successful energy transition ?

  IAPH has spearheaded innovative, practical tools for ports: a globally-used easy-to-use index tool to reward shipowners reducing their fleet emissions, a suite of audit tools and operational safety checklists for ports looking to award concessions to alternative bunker fuel operators, and a recent initiative that will measure cruise emissions at berth. The Chair and Vice-Chair of the IAPH Climate and Energy Committee will give an overview of the IAPH Toolkit members can use to improve on their environmental footprint.

  Keynote: The Century of Africa

  This is the Century of Africa. With 1.3 billion people and its rich natural resources, Africa has unlimited growth opportunities. Yet sea-to-land supply chain connectivity, both physically and digitally, still remains problematic in many parts of the continent. What role should Africa’s revitalised ports sector play to help unleash the continent’s true potential? Can the sector help convert Africa from a natural resource exporter and low-value import trader into a new global power?

  IAPH Regional: Africa. The Impact of Increasing Vessel Sizes on African Ports

  The industry has experienced a transformation as increasing vessel sizes on the main East-West trades between Asia-Europe and on the Transpacific, leading to large and ultra-large container ships cascading down to African trade routes. What impact has this had on African ports and how have they adapted to this new reality? What does this mean for "hub and spoke" port calls and deep water port development?

Will accelerating data collaboration be achieved by consensus despite political and commercial conflicts of interest between stakeholders? Or will regulators need to enforce standards to avoid ships having to use different data sets for every port of call?

  Data Collaboration

  Applying Port Call Optimisation in Practice

  To improve port call efficiencies, eliminate wasted berth time and to reduce emissions by vessels on approach and alongside seemed a pipe dream only five years ago. Pioneering ports are now bringing together nautical and supply chain players in their communities to share data, vessel approach and berth planning as well as orchestrating finely-tuned task itineraries by vessel service providers and authorities from the moment a vessel moors until she departs. Witness practical examples of how this is put in practice, and the lessons learnt moving forward from some of the most advanced port call optimization solution providers.

  Risk and Resilience

  Effective Port Authority Leadership in Times of Crisis

  At the height of the pandemic outbreak in March 2020, the Mayor of Los Angeles Mayor Garcetti decided to appoint the Port's Executive Director as Chief Logistics Officer for the City. Since then the port has had to deal with providing emergency supplies to the State of California and beyond, prioritising cargo, coping with truck and internal haulage shortages, labor shortages and overwhelming increases in import demand resulting in record congestion in and around the city's container terminals. What constitutes effective leadership in time of crisis for ports? In this exclusive interview with Gene Seroka, get a personal view on what it takes to deal with the pressures of being in the hotseat.

  Small and Smart: How the World’s Small and Mid-sized Ports can Leverage the Best of New Technology

  The smart port agenda has grown exponentially in recent years. Major hubs such as Singapore, Hamburg, and Los Angeles have embraced the use of digital tools to continuously improve operations and invested heavily in everything from cyber resilience to digital twins. But when it comes to digitalization, the majority of the world’s ports are often overlooked. Small and midsize ports make up the backbone of the global maritime economy. These ports are more focused on enabling flexible, resilient, and specialist supply chains for a variety of cargo types and not ever-increasing container volumes. Though the headlines often focus on technologies for major ports, there is a quiet transformation going on in the world’s small ports.

  In this session, we will bring together a small panel of experts to understand the emerging technology landscape for small and mid-sized ports including:

  1) What new digital solutions are being adopted in the small and mid-sized ports sector and what impact are they having?

  2) How can small and mid-sized ports work together to support innovation and R&D that meets their needs?

  3) How should technology providers approach working with ports that are at different stages on their digitalization journey?

  The US Climate Agenda

  The United States of America returned to the global stage with its rejoining of the Paris Climate Accord last February. President Biden has set a deadline of April 22 to complete the pledge for his country's 2030 emissions cuts ahead of his Earth Day summit. In February, the new U.S. President also said “‘It’s time to stop talking about infrastructure and finally start building infrastructure. Millions of good-paying jobs putting Americans to work rebuilding our roads, our bridges, our ports to make them more climate resilient, to make them faster, cheaper, cleaner to transport American-made goods across our country and around the world, that’s how we compete." Since then his 1.9 Trillion dollar stimulus package has been passed. What does this "Changing of the Guard" mean for US ports and ports globally ?
