Haiwen Edward Liu Strengthens Hong Kong’s Global Maritime Influence at London International Shipping Week 2025
海問律師事務所香港辦公室合伙人、香港海運港口發展局(HKMPDB)成員劉洋律師于2025年9月15日至17日出席了2025倫敦國際航運周(LISW25)，并圓滿完成了一系列具有深遠影響的活動。作為香港海事業界的國際代表，劉洋律師在推動香港作為全球海事中心的地位及加強與主要行業利益相關方的合作中發揮了關鍵作用。
Edward Liu, Partner at Haiwen & Partners LLP and Member of the Hong Kong Maritime and Port Development Board (HKMPDB), has concluded a highly impactful series of engagements during London International Shipping Week 2025 (LISW25) from 15 to 17 September 2025. Representing Hong Kong’s maritime industry on an international stage, Liu played a pivotal role in promoting the city’s position as a global maritime hub and fostering collaboration with leading industry stakeholders.
此次訪問中，劉洋律師與香港海事處處長王世發先生及運輸及物流局助理秘書長鄭朗逸先生組成三人代表團，共同開展了全面的推廣活動，展示香港獨特的海事優勢。這是自2025年7月1日香港海運港口發展局成立以來，香港海事業界的第二次海外推廣活動。此前，劉洋律師曾單獨代表海運港口發展局前往馬來西亞吉隆坡，推廣香港的海事集群。這一系列努力彰顯了香港致力于發展成為國際航運與貿易通往亞洲的門戶的堅定承諾。
As part of a three-member delegation alongside Mr. Sai-fa Wong, Director of Marine, and Mr. Samson Cheng, Assistant Secretary for Transport and Logistics, Liu undertook a comprehensive programme of activities to showcase Hong Kong’s unique maritime strengths. This marked the second overseas promotion of Hong Kong shipping since the establishment of the HKMPDB on 1 July 2025, following an earlier trip to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where Edward Liu represented Hong Kong alone to promote the city’s maritime cluster. These efforts underscore Hong Kong’s commitment to advancing its role as a gateway to Asia for international shipping and trade.
在訪問期間，劉洋律師于9月15日在威斯敏斯特中央大廳主持了“2025信德倫敦海事論壇”的重要專題討論會，主題為“應對不確定性：風險、韌性與回報”。該專題討論聚焦于地緣政治不穩定、貿易政策變化、關稅以及環境法規帶來的挑戰。劉洋律師通過引導對話，為與會者提供了務實且具有前瞻性的解決方案。他的出色領導力充分展示了香港作為海事金融、法律服務和仲裁中心的優勢，將香港定位為全球利益相關方應對監管與市場復雜性時的重要合作伙伴。
During the visit, Liu moderated a key panel discussion at the Xinde Marine Forum London 2025, entitled “Navigating the Uncertainty: Risk, Resilience, and Returns.” Held on 15 September at Central Hall Westminster, the panel addressed the challenges posed by geopolitical instability, trade policy changes, tariffs, and environmental regulations, with Liu steering the conversation to provide practical, forward-looking solutions. His leadership demonstrated Hong Kong’s strengths as a hub for maritime finance, legal services, and arbitration, positioning the city as an essential partner for global stakeholders navigating regulatory and market complexities.
9月16日，劉洋律師還在Quadrant大律師行主辦的一場早餐研討會上發表了主題演講。該研討會以“變革中的逆風——關稅、地緣政治不穩定與氣候變化法規下的航運與造船業”為主題，在國際爭議解決中心舉行。作為一名扎根香港的領軍律師，劉洋律師在演講中分享了如何利用香港的法律框架和監管環境，幫助全球航運業應對制裁、貿易碎片化以及氣候法規合規等關鍵挑戰。他的深刻見解展示了香港在將復雜的監管要求轉化為國際客戶商業確定性方面的獨特能力。
On 16 September, Liu also delivered a keynote address at a breakfast seminar hosted by Quadrant Chambers. The seminar, “Headwinds of Change – Shipping and Shipbuilding in an Era of Tariffs, Geopolitical Instability, and Climate Change Regulation,” which was held at the International Dispute Resolution Centre, provided an opportunity for Liu to draw on his extensive experience as a Hong Kong-based lawyer. He outlined how Hong Kong’s legal framework and regulatory environment can help the global shipping industry address critical challenges such as sanctions, trade fragmentation, and climate-driven compliance. His insights showcased Hong Kong’s unique ability to convert regulatory complexity into commercial certainty for international clients.
在進一步推廣香港海事生態系統的工作中，劉洋律師代表香港海運港口發展局，參加了在倫敦市長官邸舉辦的“海事投資推介會”。他在會上發表了引人注目的演講，吸引英國本土的海事初創企業進駐香港。他特別強調了香港充滿活力的海事集群、具有競爭力的稅收優惠政策以及綠色發展舉措，突出香港作為企業拓展亞洲市場的理想基地的獨特優勢。
Furthering his efforts to promote Hong Kong’s maritime ecosystem, Liu represented HKMPDB at the Maritime Investment Pitch Event held at Mansion House, where he delivered a compelling presentation to attract UK-based maritime start-ups to Hong Kong. Emphasising Hong Kong’s vibrant maritime cluster, competitive tax incentives, and green initiatives, Liu highlighted the city’s unparalleled advantages as a base for companies looking to expand in Asia.
在代表團訪問的最后一天，劉洋律師與代表團成員一道，與國際知名海事組織，包括國際航運公會和勞氏航運日報，進行了深度交流。這些會議聚焦于建立戰略合作伙伴關系，并探討加強香港全球海事地位的協作計劃。劉洋律師在推動雙方圍繞聯合項目及知識共享的討論中發揮了重要作用，為未來的合作奠定了堅實基礎。
On the final day of the delegation’s visit on 17 September, Liu and his colleagues engaged with globally renowned maritime organizations, including the International Chamber of Shipping and Lloyd’s List Intelligence. These meetings focused on building strategic partnerships and exploring collaborative initiatives to strengthen Hong Kong’s maritime position on the global stage. Liu’s influence was instrumental in advancing discussions around opportunities for joint projects and knowledge-sharing between Hong Kong and these leading institutions.
回顧此次訪問，劉洋律師表示：“倫敦國際航運周為香港深化與全球海事界的聯系提供了寶貴的平臺。作為一個擁有世界一流法律與金融服務、前沿綠色舉措以及無與倫比連接性的城市，香港在復雜的監管與地緣政治環境中具備支持行業發展的獨特優勢。我非常榮幸能代表海問律師事務所及香港海運港口發展局參與此次交流，并期待在此訪問所帶來的良好勢頭基礎上，進一步為香港及其國際合作伙伴創造實質性成果。”
Reflecting on the visit, Edward Liu commented: “London International Shipping Week has provided an invaluable platform for Hong Kong to deepen its connections with the global maritime community. As a city with world-class legal and financial services, cutting-edge green initiatives, and unrivaled connectivity, Hong Kong is ideally positioned to support the industry’s evolution in a challenging regulatory and geopolitical landscape. I am proud to have represented both Haiwen and HKMPDB in these discussions and look forward to building on the momentum generated during this visit to deliver tangible outcomes for Hong Kong and its international partners”.
此次訪問彰顯了香港在全球航運未來中的關鍵角色。憑借其普通法體系、先進的仲裁框架以及作為通向亞洲的戰略樞紐的地位，香港持續展現其作為國際航運、金融及爭議解決首選中心的價值。
The visit underscores the critical role Hong Kong plays in the future of global shipping. With its common law system, advanced arbitration framework, and strategic location as a gateway to Asia, Hong Kong continues to demonstrate its value as a premier hub for international shipping, finance, and dispute resolution.
