Welcome Message from Head
Welcome to our webpage!
2008 has been a remarkable and exciting year for our department. As from 1
September the former Department of Logistics has become the
Department of Logistics and Maritime Studies (LMS), to better
reflect not only the Department’s expertise in logistics but
also its unique and well-established role as a key provider of
maritime education in Asia. Currently, we are the only
University in Hong Kong that has a maritime department
offering a full range of degrees in maritime studies, from
Higher Diploma to postgraduate programmes.
Looking ahead, it will be full of challenges, with our finance
and trade taking the hardest hit by the financial tsunami.
But, we could keep in mind that Hong Kong is an international
centre of finance, trade and shipping, with full support from
the Chinese Mainland; and logistics of Hong Kong indeed means
international logistics, means maritime logistics. We should
think “international” and be prepared for unpredictable
changes.
On our part, we will continue to work towards excellence in
maritime studies, shipping, transport, and supply chain
logistics by providing high quality of teaching, research and
consultancy. With prominent academic profile, commitment to
real world connection and good network with the industries, we
are in a strategic position to attract supports and
opportunities and nurture forward-looking and practical
leaders who can face up to challenges.
