概述
Hong Kong has been thriving as an international maritime centre despite the multiple challenges it encountered over the past 25 years. This is attributed to the sterling contribution of members of different sectors of the Hong Kong maritime industry.
Today, we have the representatives of Hong Kong’s leading and influential maritime associations, who will share with us the efforts they have devoted in and their achievements made in the last 25 years in making Hong Kong a successful international maritime centre, and what they would do in the foreseeable future to grow their business and enhance such status of Hong Kong. Against the background that they face new formidable challenges in the region but are also blessed with the support from national strategies and our Government’s initiatives, how can Hong Kong’s maritime players ride on those support to face the challenges and grow their business in Hong Kong?
