CILTHK Seminar
Ocean Transport Logistics: Challenges and Opportunities
As supply chains become more global, and more operations are outsourcing and move offshore, ocean
container transport now is a critical element of any such supply chain. In particular, due to the tightened
security, increased congestion, slow steaming, and heightened pressure on energy usage and carbon
emission, the immediate effect of ocean transportation on supply chain has recently attracted much
attention. In this talk, the speaker will present a number of problems that appear to be challenging for
both container shipping service providers and users. A Theme-Based Research Project has been
conducted by the speaker in ocean transport logistics sponsored by RGC that involves four universities
in Hong Kong and two overseas universities. Findings of the study will be shared in the seminar.
