This year’s forum focuses on key areas including supply chain resilience, green 
and low-carbon development, smart innovation and shipping service upgrades. More
than 1,000 participants gathered to explore ways to ensure stable supply chain development
and strengthen coordinated cooperation across the port and shipping sector.

As risks of fragmentation in global industrial and supply chains continue to rise
and volatility in shipping markets intensifies, the global port and shipping sector
is facing multiple challenges in maintaining smooth logistics, stabilizing supply
chains, promoting transformation and preventing risks.

Jin Jingdong, an official of the Ministry of Transport, said efforts should be made
to build an open, smart, green and win-win port and shipping sector, opening a new
chapter of cooperation for the sector.

Liang Linchong, head of the Department of Regional Opening-up under the National
Development and Reform Commission, noted that the port and shipping sector now bears
the important mission of ensuring smooth global trade. He stressed the need to focus
on infrastructure connectivity, promote quality upgrades in ports, shipping and 
trade, and strengthen coordinated cooperation to continuously enhance integrated
development capabilities.

David Osborn, director of the Marine Environment Division at the International Maritime
Organization, said building resilient and sustainable maritime and port supply chains
requires continued investment in green shipping technologies, pollution control 
facilities and environmental compliance systems. He expressed hope for more practical
international cooperation to jointly advance the orderly decarbonization of the 
shipping industry.

Multiple consensus and achievements were reached during the forum, including the
2026 Multilateral Partner Ports Consensus, and a development index report on global
smart ports.

Meanwhile, a number of practical cooperation agreements were also concluded.

It is learned that the forum also held specialized seminars on topics of green development,
logistics, smart technologies, tugboat operations, grain trade, legal affairs and
maritime services.
