We are pleased to invite you to attend and participate in the 8th International Conference on Logistics and Maritime Systems, which will be held in Guangzhou (China) on 9-12 December 2018. The objective of this conference is to provide a forum for participants from universities and related industries to exchange ideas on the latest technical, operational, economic and sustainability developments in container and bulk logistics and their related maritime systems. Logistical developments continue to drive the growth of international trade, leading to more complex global supply networks typically involving maritime, inland waterway, road and rail transportation systems. There will be ample time for interaction among participants, a welcome reception, lunches, morning and afternoon teas, a social event, and a conference dinner. The conference will be preceded on 9 December 2018 by a day of tutorials for anyone interested, but particularly post-graduate students.
