The Secretary for Transport and Logistics Lam Sai-hung today (19 May), signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Guangzhou Port Authority on maritime development, exchange, and promotion. 
 

Speaking at the 2023 Greater Bay Maritime Conference, jointly hosted by the Guangzhou Port Authority, Huangpu District Government, Nansha District Government, and the Hong Kong Shipowners Association, Mr Lam said:
 

“This event today is a particularly meaningful occasion. Not only does it offer a precious opportunity to bring our maritime professionals together, it also marks another milestone of Hong Kong’s close partnership with Guangzhou. Just now, the Transport and Logistics Bureau signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Guangzhou Port Authority on maritime development, exchange and promotion, scaling our collaboration to new heights.”
 

Mr Lam added:  “Today’s Memorandum of Understanding with Guangzhou Port Authority is a concrete example of tapping the GBA synergy to enhance mutual competitiveness. By establishing a collaboration mechanism, sharing regulatory and management standards, enhancing promotion as well as manpower exchanges, Hong Kong is set to drive the development of a world-class port cluster with high-value added maritime services.”
 

Mr Lam also referred to the Task Force on Maritime and Port Development Strategy, recently convened by the Hong Kong Maritime and Port Board to formulate strategies to further promote the development of Hong Kong as an international maritime centre.
 

“The Task Force will put forward an action plan on key strategies within this year. In particular, we will work with representatives of the high‑end maritime services industry to explore measures to strengthen our edge in high value-added maritime services,” he said.
