At the 2026 World Ports Conference in London, the International Association of Ports and Harbors (IAPH) introduced a range of tools aimed at accelerating the port industry's efforts to reduce carbon emissions. These tools were created by the working groups of the IAPH Climate and Energy committee and were showcased in dedicated sessions during the conference.
The first tool, an enhanced version of the Port Readiness Level assessment tool for Bunkering Clean Marine Fuels (PRL Bunkering), builds upon the 2023 edition and utilizes insights gained from the experiences of IAPH member ports. This fuel-agnostic tool, accessible at fuelreadyports.org, evaluates all alternative and emerging fuels in the market.
The second tool, the Port Readiness Level assessment tool for Clean Fuel Cargo (PRL Cargo), was developed to complement the CEM-HUBs report by ICS and IAPH, leading up to the imminent Ministerial Call for action report in the coming year. It can also be accessed at fuelreadyports.org. Lastly, the OPS Implementation Levels: Methodology and Guidance tool adopts the same readiness level methodology to assist ports in gauging their preparedness for onshore power systems.
This nine-step methodology establishes a standardized language to report on the progress and planning of shore power infrastructure projects.
