Over three days, SOS 2018 attendees will explore a range of topics including Asian Ports and Sustainable Development, Shipbuilding for Sustainability, Women in Ocean Industries, Ocean and Climate, Ocean Investment Platform, Asian Shipping and more through plenaries, workshops, and parallel sessions. Ocean business leaders are again stepping forward to be part of the SOS program.

Updated program and first key speakers confirmed
The SOS is where the global Ocean Business Community meets to advance action on ocean sustainable development and the Blue Economy. This year in Hong Kong, a global maritime centre for Asian ocean industries, the SOS will lay emphasis on "Ocean Sustainable Development — Connecting Asia and the World".

For three days, the SOS 2018, with a focus on Asia and its relation to the global ocean economy, will assemble ocean industry CEOs to address the future of the ocean business, provide ocean economy projections, bring together women leaders in the maritime sector and Young Ocean Professionals, address port resiliency, sustainable fishing and aquaculture, energy from the ocean, marine biodiversity, increasing ocean knowledge through industry data collection — and other topics critical to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

The World Ocean Council is proud to announce some of the ocean business leaders featured in the 2018 speakers' lineup, which is led by Kenneth Koo (Group Chairman and CEO, TCC Group) as this year's Conference Chair:
