PORT LEADERS ROUNDTABLE

The World Bank published the third edition of the Port Reform Toolkit – highlighting, among others the transformation of
ports in recent years and the emerging issues to address.

The Port Reform Toolkit is a comprehensive guide for implementing port reforms, published by the World Bank. It has evolved over
two decades to address changing sectoral trends and is now in its third edition. The toolkit covers traditional private sector
participation and explores new trends that will influence ports in the coming decades. It provides policymakers and industry
professionals with tools to manage port reform and improvement processes effectively, balancing efficiency and equity, promoting
sustainable development, and sharing risk effectively. The toolkit is available online and can adapt alongside the industry to provide
a structured basis for reform in an increasingly complex operating environment.

Speaker: Jan Hoffman, Maritime Transportation and Ports, The World Bank
