The Hong Kong government has launched a new Port Community System, a digital logistics platform designed to improve cargo tracking and data transparency. The platform, which already has 2,300 registered companies, integrates sea, land, and air data using AI and blockchain technology to provide real-time tracking services. Secretary for Transport and Logistics Mable Chan stated the system aims to strengthen Hong Kong's position as an international financial, trade, and maritime center through digitalization. The government plans to collaborate with the Hong Kong Monetary Authority's "Project CargoX" to centralize logistics data, similar to the existing cargo platform at the airport. The goal is to provide practical solutions that address the needs of the logistics industry.
