The conference will take a different form to reflect the mature state of the Scorecard used for bench-marking and the need to focus on added value analysis. It will also change to facilitate a greater exchange of information between the member ports; and the desire to collect topic driven data outside the annual scorecard process. To this end member ports are encouraged to engage with the PPS team to nominate topics for discussion and/or submit papers for presentation.
The process required data for the period 2010 to 2017 to match the existing
database and add to the bench-marking capacity of the project.
