At the opening of the 2026 North Bund International Shipping Forum on Oct. 20,
the Shanghai Municipal Transportation Commission and the Hong Kong SAR Transport
and Logistics Bureau signed a strategic cooperation memorandum to further
promote high‑quality, coordinated development of Shanghai–Hong Kong shipping.
The memorandum focuses on five areas: smart port construction, green shipping
energy application, collaboration on high‑end shipping services, joint
professional talent training, and industry technical exchange and sharing. It
calls for a regular coordination and consultation mechanism and project‑based
implementation to drive cooperation into concrete deliverables.
