The 6th International Conference on Logistics and Maritime Systems, will be held in Sydney on 21-23 June 2016. 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 and economic 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 20 June 2016 by a day of tutorials for anyone interested, but particularly post-graduate students.
For more information, please visit the conference website.
Previous conferences in this series took place in Busan (2010), Bremen (2012), Singapore (2013), Rotterdam (2014), and Hong Kong (2015).
Call for abstracts
Those interested are invited to submit an extended abstract (maximum 4 pages) with an original contribution related to container or bulk logistics and their port or maritime systems. The scope of disciplines covered by the conference is wide, so technical, operational, economic, policy, or inter-‐disciplinary contributions, are welcome.
