Call for Expanded Abstracts (Full Papers):

The 13th International Conference on Logistics and Maritime Systems (LOGMS 2025)

Theme: Systematic and Sustainable Evolution of Maritime Logistics: Green, Intelligent, Multimodal, and Port-City Synergy

Aims and Scope:

With the advancement of the Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, modern logistics and maritime systems are increasingly showing trends of high efficiency and intelligence in terms of ships, ports, and transportation network developments. In multimodal logistics systems based on maritime transport, the intelligent operation and management of key hub nodes are gaining more attention. This has led to changes in port patterns, shifts in port collection and distribution systems, and new port-city conflicts. Today, maritime logistics not only faces the challenge of low-carbon development but also needs to address issues such as efficient energy utilization, seamless connection of port collection and distribution systems, and sustainable collaborative development between ports and cities. Under the context of efficient and intelligent development, key issues in green logistics, energy utilization, collection and distribution system optimization, and port-city coordination need to be discussed collaboratively by industry professionals and scholars.
