The fourth Port and Shipping Logistics Development Forum in the Greater Bay Area will be held on November 27–28 at the Guangzhou Nansha International Convention and Exhibition Center, which will serve as its permanent host starting this year.

Organized by China Shipping Gazette, the forum is the first conference dedicated to port and shipping logistics in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. The inaugural edition was held in Nansha in January 2018, with the next two hosted in other GBA cities.

This year marks the third anniversary of the Nansha Plan. In partnership with Guangzhou Port Group, China Shipping Gazette designates Nansha as the forum's permanent host, and officially named the forum as the "Port and Shipping Logistics Development Forum in the Greater Bay Area."

Designating Nansha as the forum's permanent host will drive its development into an international shipping and logistics hub. The event will provide a steady platform for resource exchange, advance port–industry–city integration, and strengthen ties with global port and shipping leaders, supporting the GBA's maritime integration and Nansha's vision of a world-class, globally connected hub.
