International Forum on Shipping, Ports and Airports

The International Forum on Shipping, Ports and Airports (IFSPA) is an annual event jointly organised by the CY Tung International Centre for Maritime Studies and the Department of Logistics and Maritime Studies, aiming to invite international academies and practitioners to discuss and exchange views on issues related to global maritime and aviation economics, policy and management. The function also serves as a good platform for networking and promoting academic-industry collaboration.

The roots of IFSPA can be dated back to 2006, starting as a workshop to bring together academics in the fields of logistics, maritime and aviation studies with the objective to promote high-quality research papers. The Conference has experienced significant successes in the past few years attracting more than 800 participants from different countries and territories.
