THE International Association of Ports and Harbours (IAPH) has announced the launch of a study to evaluate energy-related port investments in developing countries, reports London's Port Technology.
"After the summer, we expect exploratory discussions to take place at the Intersessional Working Group on Greenhouse Gas Emissions on the topic of a market-based measure, said IAPH managing director Patrick Verhoeven.
"As a contribution to this process, IAPH has commissioned a study that will look at identifying potential energy-related investments that will be required in port infrastructure of developing countries to reflect the updated 2023 IMO Strategy on Reduction of GHG Emissions from Ships," he said.
The research will cover chosen nations from Africa, South America, the Indian subcontinent, Asia, and the Pacific Islands Region, with the goal of building and assessing the infrastructure necessary to guarantee their involvement in the energy transition of shipping.
During last month's 48th session of the IMO Facilitation Committee (FAL) committee in London, the association made a submission on cybersecurity-related to member states' implementation of the Maritime Single Window, which received support from several countries and will now be followed up by its data collaboration committee.
