In the spotlight…. Harbor master
At a time when maritime issues are reshaping the global economy, the role of Harbor master is emerging as a constantly evolving profession. With its roots in the tax surveillance duties of the Ancien Régime, its remit has undergone a profound transformation over time. The rise of steam navigation, followed by the containerisation revolution, has made the port officer an indispensable regulator of large-scale logistics flows, whilst successive environmental crises have reinforced their role as protectors of maritime spaces. Today, faced with climate and technological challenges, the Harbor master has established himself as a central figure in ‘smart ports.’ Artificial intelligence, alternative fuels and cybersecurity now shape his work. Discover this manager who embodies the balance between national sovereignty and sustainable performance.
