The International Forum on Shipping, Ports and Airports (IFSPA) brings together academic researchers and industry practitioners to examine important issues related to shipping, ports, and airports. This year, with the support from Institute of Seatransport and Hong Kong Logistics Management Staff Association, the Forum starts to run the Keynote Sessions and Industrial Sessions in parallel on 30th afternoon.
