The management of emerging issues and the efficient and effective adaptation of port organization and operations represent key port governance activities. Within a dynamic economic context marked by business model adjustments by carriers, transportation companies along the supply chains, as well as port terminal operators and other service providers, the themes of this group expand. Responses to the ongoing consolidation and alliance formation in the shipping industry, as well as the coordination of port and landside transport integration, are two illustrative examples of such issues. Technological trends also introduce emerging issues, including the advancement of collaboration in innovation and the implementation of new technologies, the development of port community systems, and cybersecurity concerns. While the specific themes may change in the future, the allocation of responsibilities regarding the leadership and implementation of strategies and specific plans to address emerging issues remains a core part of port governance models.
