About the Seminar

The maritime industry, a vital component of global trade and economic development, is currently navigating a complex array of challenges. Environmental concerns, such as the drive towards decarbonization and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, have placed significant pressure on shipping companies to adopt cleaner technologies and practices.

Additionally, supply chain disruptions have exposed vulnerabilities in logistics and shipping operations, leading to rising costs and delays. At the same time, the industry is in the midst of a digital transformation, with the integration of technologies like artificial intelligence, big data analytics, and automation becoming increasingly critical for improving efficiency and sustainability.

In this seminar, Professor Chang will address these issues and present the industry's responses based on his own research, discussions, and consultations with industry experts.
