The European Sea Ports Association (ESPO) celebrates its 25 years with the publication of a Book of friends, gathering 30 memories and reflections of port people who are or have been instrumental in the life of the ESPO.

Four PortEconomics members- Peter de Langen, Michael Dooms, Theo Notteboom, and Thanos Pallis– are among the contributors in ESPO’s Liber Amicorum, bringing back memories and reflections of their extensive involvement in facilitating EPSO and its membership in advancing the interests of European ports.

ESPO represents the port authorities, port associations and port administrations of the seaports of 23 Member States of the European Union and Norway at EU political level. ESPO also has observer members in Iceland, Ukraine and Israel.

ESPO is now 25 years young, and the story goes on most successfully. Congratulations ESPO !!!

You might freely download the ESPO Book of friends here: ESPO at 25: Connecting People and Ports
