“Arctic Shipping and Development in the Contemporary World” Conference Recap: 

​

Global warming has brought opportunities to the Arctic shipping industry, but it has also brought potential risks to the industry and the environment. Co-organised by Hong Kong Maritime Museum (HKMM) and the Climate Change Adaptation Planning for Ports, Transport Infrastructure, and the Arctic (CCAPPTIA), the “Arctic Shipping and Development in the Contemporary World” held on 13 Aug not only facilitated cross-disciplinary discussions, but also inspired new ideas on Arctic shipping.

​

HKMM Swire Marine Discovery Centre provided the platform for international, cross-disciplinary knowledge exchange on various topics of Arctic shipping and development including environment, cybersecurity, cruise products, insurance, fuel performance, etc. 

Thank you for the contributions by the officiating guest, Mr Richard Kendell, HKMM Chief Executive; all speakers including Prof Adolf Ng from BNU- HKBU (Director of CCAPPTIA), Dr Joseph Lau (PolyU SPEED), Mr Gomen See (HKMM), Dr Mawuli Afenyo (Texas A&M University, USA), Dr Christelle Not (SWIMS, HKU) , Dr Naima Saeed (University of Agder, Norway), Dr Olivier Faury (EMI Normandie, Métis Lab, France) , all offline and online participants.
