Description: We began the year looking forward, in particular, to the challenge of the European Green Deal for ports. At that time, we re-emphasised our sector’s unequivocal support
for decarbonisation and the energy transition, a commitment we had previously reflected in our priorities for the five years from 2019 to 2024 when we launched What ports do for Europe, What Europe can do for ports in Livorno in May 2019. In addition to the challenge for ports of the European Green Deal, many members of ESPO also looked ahead to the challenge of Brexit and began to
prepare for the reintroduction of border controls in their ports which the Single Market had removed in 1992. These were big enough challenges in themselves and we could not have foreseen that they would have been rapidly dwarfed by the Covid-19 pandemic in just a few months. Many lives have been lost throughout Europe, businesses and industries have been decimated
and many people have lost their jobs. Supply chains have been challenged but have held firm and the goods essential for our daily lives have continued to flow through our ports even if the
passenger side of our industry has hugely diminished for the time being. So many of the things we had thought we could take for granted have been undermined and our sector, like all others, is in the middle of a period of unprecedented challenge and change. Navigating in such turbulent times requires a lodestar and the European Green Deal continues to provide the over-arching priority for ESPO. Finding the way forward in turbulent times also requires a unity of purpose and the past year has demonstrated the importance of ESPO both as a voice for Europe’s port sector and also as a forum for our members to cooperate and learn from each other as we face into shared challenges. ESPO’s success as the representative body of Europe’s port sector depends on the work of our
Committees and I would like to thank all of the port and port association executives who give their time and expertise to attend meetings and contribute to this important work. It is particularly
important that our Committees are representative of ports throughout Europe; from the Baltic to the North Sea and along the English Channel; to the Atlantic seaboard; into the Mediterranean
and all the way to the Black Sea. I would again urge all ports and port associations to encourage executives and officials to participate in the work of ESPO so that the perspectives of all ports in
the EU are understood and reflected in our work. The response of our committees to having to do their work remotely for much of the past year has, if anything, cemented the unity of purpose of our organisation and I am very pleased to have seen such a high continued level of participation by members in ESPO’s work.
