2025海运物流系统国际会议(LOGMS2025

August 26-29, 2025, Shanghai, China

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

Dear LOGMS participants,

We are pleased to invite you to attend and participate in the 13th International Conference on Logistics and Maritime Systems (LOGMS 2025), which will take place on 26-29 August 2025 in Shanghai, China. Looking ahead, the theme of LOGMS 2025 will be Systematic and Sustainable Evolution of Maritime Logistics: Green, Intelligent, Multimodal, and Port-City Synergy. This conference will provide a valuable platform for professionals, experts, and scholars to explore key issues in management science and engineering, green logistics, energy efficiency, optimization of collection and distribution systems, and port-city coordination within the context of intelligent and sustainable development.

The LOGMS conference series was first established in 2005. In 2008, it was hosted by Shanghai Maritime University (SMU), which will once again be the host for the 2025 edition, continuing its important role in advancing maritime logistics discussions. Your insightful presentations, thought-provoking questions, and inspiring comments will significantly contribute to the progression of scientific discourse. We extend a heartfelt welcome to you and look forward to your participation, hoping it will create lasting memories and foster meaningful connections

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.

The organizers of LOGMS 2025 cordially invite you to submit your expanded abstract or full paper to this conference to join an open academic discussion on related topics.
