From the energy transition to the governance of the ports of tomorrow, there are numerous aspects of innovation that will need to be pursued, and we will do so with a steady hand on the helm. ‘ ESPO has been and continues to be the right tool to pursue these goals, adapting European policies and strategies to the challenging times we are experiencing in order to achieve the results we all hope for. I am talking about solutions to be identified through constant dialogue with the European policy makers. It is therefore essential for the European port system to take on these challenges with a shared approach and concrete proposals. ‘ We are playing a leading role in many epoch-making challenges, such as the energy transition. We are living in difficult times during which the role of European ports is becoming crucial for the economic and geopolitical balance at both the European and global scales. ‘ I would like to thank first and foremost Annaleena Mäkilä and all those who believed in me and my work during my years as vice-president. Upon his election, Mr D’Agostino said: ‘ I am honoured to have received this prestigious appointment. Ansis Zeltiņš, CEO of the Port of Riga, becomes the second Vice Chair. The General Assembly also re-elected Daan Schalck, CEO of North Sea Port as Vice Chair. He succeeds Annaleena Mäkilä who chaired the organisation during the last two years. Mr D’Agostino is President of Port Network Authority of the Eastern Adriatic Sea since 2015 and has a long-standing career in transport and logistics.
On 8 November ESPO’s General Assembly unanimously elected Zeno D’Agostino as its new Chair.
