From 1 to 6 September, the Secretary for Transport and Logistics of Hong Kong SAR Government, Mr. Lam Sai-hung, led a delegation for a visit to Hamburg, Germany, and Athens, Greece. The delegation primarily consisted of members from the Hong Kong Marine and Port Board (HKMPB), featuring heavyweights from various sectors of the maritime and port industry in Hong Kong. As a member of HKMPB, Edward Liu, a partner at Haiwen & Partners LLP, participated in this visit.
在德国汉堡期间，刘洋律师与代表团出席了全球最具规模的海运贸易展之一——2024年德国汉堡船舶海事展览会（SMM Hamburg 2024）。期间，刘洋律师受邀在9月2日举行的主题为“为何香港航运业独步全球：通过不断变化的地缘政治潮流、区域动态和行业演变来实现雄心”的研讨会上，发表了题为“香港高端且多元化海事服务集群”的主题演讲，并参与了与林世雄局长、香港定期班轮协会主席Roberto Giannetta及香港投资推广署运输及工业行业主管林劲松的圆桌讨论。
During the stay in Hamburg, Edward Liu attended the Shipbuilding, Machinery and Marine Technology (SMM) trade fair 2024 in Hamburg, Germany, one of the world's leading trade fairs and conferences for the maritime industry. On 2 September, Edward was invited to speak at a seminar titled “Why Hong Kong Shipping Reigns Supreme: Navigating Ambitions Through Shifting Geopolitical Tides, Regional Dynamics, and Industry Evolution”. Edward presented a keynote speech on “Hong Kong's High-End and Diverse Maritime Services Cluster” and participated in a roundtable discussion with Secretary Lam, Mr. Roberto Giannetta, Chairman of the Hong Kong Liner Shipping Association, and Mr. KC Lam, Head of Transport and Industry at Invest Hong Kong.

在演讲中，刘洋律师重点介绍了香港的高端航运服务。他指出：“香港拥有丰富多彩的海事服务，从船舶管理和融资到保险，以及法律服务和仲裁。这些多样化的服务使香港能够应对海事行业不断变化的需求，并确保在全球航运舞台上具备强大竞争力。”作为一名经常为欧洲船东和运营商处理仲裁的律师，刘律师通过实际案例强调，当涉及亚洲元素时，香港是达成交易和解决海事争议的最佳理想之地。
In his speech, Edward Liu highlighted the diverse high-end maritime services in Hong Kong. He stated, “Hong Kong offers a wide range of maritime services, from ship management and financing to insurance, legal services, and arbitration. This diversity enables Hong Kong to meet the evolving needs of the maritime industry and ensures its strong competitiveness on the global shipping stage.” As a lawyer regularly handling arbitrations for European shipowners and operators, Edward emphasised through practical examples that when Asian elements are involved, Hong Kong is the best ideal place for both deal making and maritime dispute resolution.

在随后的圆桌讨论中，刘洋律师进一步阐述了香港的优势。他表示：“在不断变化的地缘政治背景下，香港不仅已准备好迎接挑战，还在积极定位自己为高端海事服务的首选中心。因此，无论是船东、船舶经营者还是货物贸易商，香港不仅是一个目的地，更是航行在机遇海洋中的可靠合作伙伴。”
During the subsequent roundtable discussion, Edward Liu further elaborated on Hong Kong's advantages. He remarked, “In the face of changing geopolitical dynamics, Hong Kong is not only ready to meet challenges but is actively positioning itself as the premier hub for high-end maritime services. Therefore, whether you are a shipowner, operator, or cargo trader, Hong Kong is not just a destination; it is a reliable partner navigating the seas of opportunity.”
在访问德国汉堡期间，刘洋律师陪同林世雄局长与多位来自汉堡港务局、主要班轮公司、物流公司及船东组织的业界代表会面，向他们讲解香港国际航运中心作为中国内地与国际市场之间“超级联系人”的策略性定位，以及香港高增值海运服务对全球航运业的贡献。林世雄局长和代表团还参观了当地港口设施，了解德国码头的智慧及绿色设施。
While in Hamburg, Edward Liu accompanied Secretary Lam in meetings with a number of industry players, including the Hamburg Port Authority, major shipping liners, logistics companies and shipowners' association. He explained the strategic position of the Hong Kong international maritime centre as the "super connector" between Mainland of China and the global markets, and how its high value-added maritime services can contribute to global maritime business. Secretary Lam and the delegation also toured local port facilities and learned about Germany's smart and green terminal operations. 
在希腊雅典访问期间，刘洋律师与林世雄局长和代表团一道，与希腊船东协会及其他航运公司和协会的代表会面，推广香港的高增值海运服务及香港船舶注册处的工作。他还参观了“一带一路”建设的重点项目——中远海运比雷埃夫斯港口设施，了解希腊港口的运作，并推广香港的法律及争议解决服务。
In Athens, together with Secretary Lam and the delegation, Edward Liu met with representatives from the Union of Greek Shipowners and other shipping companies and associations to promote Hong Kong's high value-added maritime services and the work of the Hong Kong Ships Registry.
