The topic of the “one belt, one road” (OBOR) has recently attracted considerable attention. The OBOR initiative implies unprecedented opportunities and challenges. The aim of this session is to therefore explore the opportunities of shipping and ports in the OBOR, and a system whereby the OBOR initiative can be implemented.
Opportunities with newly built or upgraded infrastructures that facilitate the flow of trade, investment, culture, shipping and port might be created from the OBOR initiative. The first study therefore focuses on shipping and ports in the OBOR project. To begin, the use of shipping and ports in the OBOR initiative will be investigated. Then the opportunities of shipping and ports provided in the OBOR initiative will be analysed. Some of the considerations and problems will also be discussed.
The second study will provide an overview of the OBOR initiative. Then, a quick historical look at the Maritime Silk Road and its effects and subsequent developments in relation to the activities of other maritime trading nations to this day will be provided. A system whereby the OBOR initiative can be implemented is explored in this study and the role of Hong Kong maritime services is examined.
