May 3, 2017
At the end of the next month of Patrick Verhoeven August lascerà the charge of general secretary of the shipowning association European European Community Shipowners' Associations (ECSA) in order to assume the role of in charge of the area Political and strategies of the International Association of Ports and Harbors (IAPH), international association that it counts beyond 200 members between institutions, authority and private operators who manage ports in 90 nations. That covered from Verhoeven will be a new charge that is created as a result of a reform of the IAPH put into effect with the scope to increase its importance and international visibility and to strengthen own associative base.
"Unfortunately - the president of the ECSA, Niels Smedegaard has commented - Patrick has decided to leave its assignment after four years with we in order to assume a new role in a global environment. I would want to thank it for its work of modernization of the secretariat of the ECSA, for its engagement and its contributions to many important topics that the European shipowning community has found itself to face in the course of its mandate. I wish to Patrick much success and all the best in its new role".
"The decision to make this step - Verhoeven has asserted - has not been easy. I have worked in the context of the European Union in order almost 25 years having represented terminalisti, shipping agents, harbour authorities and, in last the four years, companies of navigation. However I have not felt myself to lose the only opportunity to complete this experience with the total challenge that is offered by the IAPH. I sentitamente thank Niels and the members of the presidency, all the associates and not last the team of the secretariat of the ECSA for the their great cooperation and the support over the last few years".
